How can Zac Dawson be deemed to have no case to answer - arrives late to a marking contest and strikes an opponent's head with his elbow.
He's now got away with a few cheap shots (round one against Tadgh included) but his number will come up. Hopefully!
Quote from MRP:
Contact between St Kilda?s Zac Dawson and Essendon?s Brent Stanton from the fourth quarter of Sunday?s match was assessed. The panel said that Dawson jumped in the air in an attempt to spoil a marking attempt by the Essendon player. He stopped his motion to spoil when Stanton had taken the mark and his elbow made contact with Stanton in his follow-through. The action was not deemed to be a striking action and no further action was taken.
Must be the only player in the league who attempts to spoil with his hands down and a leading elbow ...
