An all-in brawl ensued, as Maynard collected himself and was awarded a 50-metre penalty for the act.<\/p>\n

\"Darcy<\/p>\n

After Maynard went back to slot the goal, he was quickly forced off the ground to undertake a SCAT5 concussion test.<\/p>\n

The Pies defender eventually returned to the bench later in the first term, passing his HIA.<\/p>\n

It's a cruel blow for the young Dogs forward, who went on to kicked the sealer to give the Dogs an 18-point victory.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Darcy kicked three goals for the game and had 12 disposals.<\/p>\n

\"Sam<\/p>\n

The loss of the 20-year-old will prove seriously costly for Luke Beveridge's men, who are already severely down on forward stocks.<\/p>\n

Forward Aaron Naughton is still sidelined after suffering a knee injury in round 11, while small goal sneak Cody Weightman is also out with elbow troubles.<\/p>\n

\ufeffEd Richards is also sidelined with his second concussion of 2024, while Tom Liberatore is still battling through his own head injuries.<\/p>\n

But the pain doesn't stop there injury wise for the Dogs.\ufeff<\/p>\n

\"Maynard<\/p>\n

Laith Vandermeer\ufeff and James Harmes both siffered hamstring injuries in the win.<\/p>\n

Meantime, Bulldog Taylor Duryea escaped suspension, but was handed a fine for his rough conduct on Pie Nick Daicos.<\/p>\n

It wan an off-the-ball arm from Duryea<\/a> that had him put on report.<\/p>\n
