It was a legal bump.

No case to answer.

It was a joke he even got reported in the first place.

Re: SEN - Didak Cleared

The match day report laid against Collingwood's Alan Didak was reviewed. It was the view of the Match Review Panel that Scotland took possession of the ball and Didak began to moved towards him from the side and slightly behind the Carlton player. Scotland first realised his opponent was approaching when he was approximately two metres away. Didak had positioned himself to bump and had his arm and shoulder tucked in for contact. Scotland attempted to avoid contact but unfortunately contact was made to his head. Despite the high contact, Didak's action was viewed as a legitimate attempt to bump. Therefore, the contact to the head was considered accidental and the action was not considered to be a reportable offence.

Seriosly, I'm not even sure the report looks like it could be cleared, all we could speculate on was trying to get it to look like a one or two week report, let alone cleared. If Dids is cleared, I'm doing a nude run down my street.

Geez,I hope its not cold tonight.

This is from official AFL press release.

If that was a non Collingwood player, it would've been 2 weeks easy.

Really? Might want to review all the bumps that were similar and cleared throughout the year, heres a hint, none were Collingwood players

It hit him high did it not? Probably didn't hit him high deliberately but surely his bump was at least negligent if not reckless to cause Scotland to be ko'd.

Doesn't matter. Give them their best 22, they're still crap and going nowhere this year.

So accidental head high contact is not grounds for suspension? Tell that to players rubbed out for attempting a spoil and getting the head. And while you are at it, give Chris Grant back his ****ing Brownlow.

flipping Tribunal absolute Wa@#$rs!!!! Mark johnson gets a reprimand for nothing and didak gets cleared for nearly killing a bloke!!! i wonder how much eddy payed them??? shame he cant buy u a premiership!!!!

Nearly killing a bloke is pushing it just a little bit too far, don't you think?

Vedder · Aug 28, 2006

Re: SEN - Didak Cleared

At last the MRV is doing its job, there is no way that deserved a suspension and thankfully the correct decision was made,

Though now all you cry babies will have something else to whinge about, should make for some good reading watching all you whingers go to town..

Loved the chewbacca defence pic btw, very funny!

Amen to that.

Poor decision had this been Pickett or Guerra they would have been looking at a 4 match ban minimum. :thumbsdown:

But the good news is that now every other player that does something similar to this has a case and shouldn't be suspended for it.
