Overview

• Sam Durham delivered a front-on bump early in the second term that made high contact with Adam Cerra’s head during Essendon’s match against Carlton on June 8.
• Adam Cerra initially remained on the field before undergoing a head injury assessment and being cleared of concussion.
• The AFL’s Match Review Officer will determine today whether Durham will face suspension, with the league holding public comment until the round review concludes.
• Carlton coach Michael Voss labelled the collision “black and white” and urged coaches to adapt techniques to reduce high-risk hits.
• Essendon coach Brad Scott refused to view the bump on replay and deferred to officials with pundits expecting a one-to-two week suspension.
