It is a strange incident and the perpetrator is generally not involved in aggressive incidents to my memory.
The ball is bounced and the two of them compete without contact, then inexplicably, Daw goes over to Cox and swings an arm at his shoulder neck region. Daw then continues to glare at Cox. Cox does not retaliate at all.
The first question is: did that arm swing cause an injury and if so what?
The next question is: what caused Daw to swing his arm at Cox?
According to the Pies the injury was caused in play earlier.
If this occurred in a game without injury to the victim, it would be a free kick, nothing more, as we saw in the Yeo hit on Kozzie, a week or so ago. Yeo's action was clearly harder and rougher than Daw's.
The way the MRO and Tribunal have been going, I would not be surprised if he was given life.
