Key move could save star from ban after ‘confusing week’ that saw Crows pull off ‘complete flip’
Five-goal Crows hero Ben Keays faces a somewhat uneasy wait for the Match Review Officer’s verdict on his tackle on Essendon midfielder Jye Caldwell on Friday night., which ended up with the Bomber midfielder’s head crashing into the turf and leading him to be subbed out to undergo a concussion test .
“There 15 minutes left on the clock — the rules are there for a reason and a good reason — he had to have a head injury assessment, which takes time.,” Scott told reporters post-game. “With 15 minutes plus stoppages and all that sort of stuff, we could’ve got him back with five but we just, on balance, subbed him off to get the fresh player in.”“He got winded. I thought he hit his head but luckily he was just winded.Dangerous tackles have been in the spotlight this week after Giant Toby Bedford and Lion Charlie Cameron both had their three-week bans sensationally overturned at the AFL Appeals Board on Thursday night, sparking industry-wide debate.
