Pretty stiff I would have thought

Huge loss

    Two weeks???

    Adelaide must have had a whinge? Can't remember it being an act warranting suspension.

    Will need another look tonight.

    I just finished re-watching the game and it there was no malice to it at all. Would be extremely unlucky. Must challenge this.

    How does he get the same penalty as Brown did for doing a 'Leigh Matthews'?

    Sentencing is an absolute joke.

    being in WA i watched it on TV

    Danger field had the ball under one arm, Trengove grabbed his other hand and tackled him to the ground. It was a "chicken wing" tackle as they call it in NRL. trnners grabbed his arm im guessing to avoid him beign able to hand ball, but it also stopped him from being able to defend himself as he went down.

    I'd challenge it, but if they wana crack down on this sort of stuff we will struggle to get off :( :( :(

    Thought he might be in trouble. It's one of the relatively new BS rules they brought in about protecting the head. I still say challenge it, but don't hold your breath on this one.

    Not quite. The chicken wing is more or less a wrestling arm bar/lock. They want that outlawed because of the high probability of dislocating the shoulder. Sadly, what Trengove did is pretty much a textbook sling tackle as the rulemakers have defined it, so I don't see him getting off. The fact that it was unintentional and that it was the only possible thing to do unless he wanted to just let Dangerfield go will have no bearing on the case.

    If it is reduced to one match with an early guilty plea you would almost take it on the chin... Two weeks seems a bit harsh..

    I thought it was a fantastic tackle.

    So did I. It happened right in front of us and noone even though twice about it. Just a good solid tackle where circumstances went againt the player being tackled. If he goes it's absolute BS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    As does Beamers "Attempting to Strike" ,Pavlich getting off plus Jackson and Tambling's 1 week, in the week just past.

    What a lot of rubbish, I doubt if this could be right and would set a very stupid preceedent for the MRP for the rest of the year. Chapman & Co. will get 6 months!

    Nothing in it and if there is a charge it should definitely be challenged.

    Hawthorn , Geelong and Collingwood tackle like we did yesterday on a weekly basis. We need to follow suit and in fact go even harder.

    It was replayed on the TV replay from a number of different angles.

    Defintely not deliberate but the consequences for Dangerfield were not good.

    I realise the AFL are tough on tackles that maim a player but FMD the tackle was done in split second with no malice, intent or forethought by Trengove.

    Very Harsh indeed if its 2 weeks.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
