ADELAIDE forward Darcy Fogarty has been suspended for three games for a blow that concussed a Sydney opponent.<\/p>\n
Fogarty’s swinging right arm collected the head of Swans defender Harry Cunningham in a tackling attempt during Adelaide’s 16-point win at the SCG on Friday night.<\/p>\n
The in-form Fogarty booted four goals in the victory but, unless Adelaide successfully challenge the ban at the Tribunal, he will miss games against Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond.<\/p>\n
Fogarty was cited by Match Review Officer Michael Christian for striking, with his action deemed careless conduct, severe impact and high contact.<\/p>\n
He was offered a three-game ban, with no provision to reduce the sanction with an early guilty plea.<\/p>\n
Sydney stalwart Cunningham was dazed by the blow and spent several seconds on the ground. He will miss at least next week’s Sydney derby clash through concussion.<\/p>\n
Post-match, Crows coach Matthew Nicks was resigned to letting Christian determine the issue.<\/p>\n
“I thought it was a tackle in the moment,” Nicks said.<\/p>\n
At least Nicks has a ready-made replacement for Fogarty after resting the club’s all-time leading goalkicker Taylor Walker for the trip to Sydney.<\/p>\n
“For us to be able to manage Taylor this week, a huge bonus for our squad,” Nicks said.<\/p>\n
“‘Tex’ at his best is really important to us, and we will need to manage him for him to be able to do that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The match review for Friday night’s round 19 game is in Darcy Fogarty is seen during round 19,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":808645,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,83,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-808644","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-text","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=808644"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808644\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/808645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=808644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=808644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=808644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
