'Unbelievably resilient': Bulldogs footy boss speaks on Sam Darcy's injury
Q: What is the current status of Sam Darcy's recovery and when is surgery likely to happen?
Sam Darcy has not had the operation yet; swelling is being managed and the date is not fixed, with a plan to operate when he's in a better frame of mind and swelling subsides.
Sam Docherty and former AFL umpire share thoughts on big Zak Butters story

3AW Wide World of Sports with Matt Granland and Kevin Bartlett - 15 April, 2026 - Full Show
Q: Why do you think the audio blip around the incident mattered in the tribunal's decision?
The discussion suggested that the audio anomaly prevented a clear exoneration or condemnation and that the lack of immediate audio explanation left room for interpretation influencing the outcome.
3AW Wide World of Sports with Matt Granland and Kevin Bartlett - 15 April, 2026 - Full Show
Q: From Zach Butters' point of view, do you think his integrity was tarnished by the tribunal's finding?
