Trengove suspended for 2 ... now 3 weeks

What would of happened if a holding the ball decision was paid. That would be extremely embarassing for the AFL and it could of happened Dangerfield didn't correctly dispose of the footy, an umpire on the right angle could of easy awarded a free kick to Trengove. This is scary you can lay a legal tackle on Sunday get a free kick and be rubbed out on Monday.

The problem I have with this whole system is that it has no feel for the game.

And also that they have their favourites in there. Judd would NEVER get suspended for this tackle. Ever. Tinney would be told by Vlad to argue that "it was forceful but part of the game".

I'm sick of our players being made examples of. It was a rubbish citing, a rubbish ruling and a rubbish decision, and we're weak if we don't take this to the next level and appeal, on principle if nothing else.

Agree 100%. You can bet your last dollar if it was Judd there is no way he would have even got cited let alone 3 weeks.

If the club just lays down and accepts this then they are wishy washy, week kneed fluffs. Eddie McEverywhere would appeal to the courts or whatever it took to deal with.

This is an injustice and we need to be heard at whatever level it takes.

C'mon Melbourne make some noise and get this decision overturned, because no reasonable judiciary could reasonably find in this manner!

There are many previous similar happenings that were not dealt with in this same way.

I actually hope that someone like Eddie comments on this is as this is bigger than just a MFC issue as its a disgraceful decision that devalues a fundamental component of the game.

Eddie on Triple M this morning commented on it saying he believes it was a joke of a decision which was back by Darcy.

The slinging concept is more a cause of the players being tackled constantly dropping there knees trying for the 'in the back' free kick its just that the elevation and head contact made it so worse. If anything, the AFL should give the MCG turf a couple weeks for the negligent contact to the head.

Luke Darcy's comments on the "precedent" case of Mumford v Ablett

http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/default.aspx?newsid=94242

Interestingly in that case Mumford went to the tribunal and whilst facing three weeks he got two weeks as the charge was downgraded.

This stinks...Bruce McAvaney stating that Adelaide had sent a DVD re: Tippet not getting free kicks...Damning medical report from Adelaide...Tribunal told to disregard the medical report and look solely at the action of Trengove...4 minutes worth of deliberation...I smell a rat.

From that article:

I wish the match review panel would follow a similar rule. I’d call it the Mumford Rule. If a member of the panel is in doubt on whether to suspend a player on the basis of a technical legal charge - such as ‘negligence’ - then he/she should defer to the lesser charge or the alternative of finding the player not guilty.

Had a laugh reading that article stating that Darcy thought himself a QC after 3 appearances at the tribunal in quick succession. I think he made a good move at the time requesting that the vision be reviewed in real time rather than frame by frame.

''I can't say a real lot because we are going through the process of looking at a challenge through appeal, see if we can satisfy the AFL guidelines in regards to an appeal,'' Notman told SEN radio.

''Watch this space, some things may happen during the day. We assessing it as we speak.''

Lachie Hansen was pushed into the fence by Troy Chaplin in Round 6. Check out 13 mins into the last quarter. He runs onto a handball in the goalsquare and pokes it through with his boot, then Chaplin pushes him and he hits his face into the fence. He didn't play the next week.

It is a reportable offence to "throw or push another player after that player has taken a mark, disposed of the football or after the football is otherwise out of play"

I believe the rules of the game assess the fence/ground to be essentially the same thing.

In that case, even though Chaplin only nudged Hansen, as a result of that nudge he hit the fence with HIGH impact and HIGH contact. So why wasn't he charged in the same manner? Trengove's tackle itself was not high contact or high impact, it was the resulting impact with the turf that caused the injury.

I know they're difference circumstances i.e. tackle vs bump where the tackle involves a player maintaining a hold throughout whilst the bump is a transfer of physical contact. However, the 'injury' received in both cases was a result of the physical contact from the other player. Chaplin was negligent in making the bump given the momentum of Hansen and likelihood he would cannon into the fence.

This is actually a quite relevant case study - this is the Rule/ Law Trenners was charged under:

"Contact shall be classified as high or to the groin where a player's head or groin makes contact with another player or object such as the fence or the ground as a result of the actions of the offending player. By way of example, should the player tackle another player around the waist, and as a result of the tackle, the tackled player's head make forceful contact with the fence or ground, the contact in these circumstances would be classified as high even tough the tackle was to the body".

Hansen was nearly hospitalised for a spinal injury!!!! Chapling should've been facing EXACT SAME 3 WEEK BAN - but more reasonably so, as he deliberately pushed a guy into a fence (as opposed to, yknow, tackling a dude!!!)

WHERE'S THE PARITY!???

I heard the US marines sent in J Trengove to Pakistan to kill Osama Bin Laden by Tackle.....

Superman got tackled by Trengove, thats how Christopher Reeve ended up a Paraplegic....

The AFL acted on behalf of the US government, prior to playing for the dees, he was employed by Saddam Hussein as the WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION....

/ok thats enough now.....

So let me get this right ... you can kick an opposition player in the nuts/balls behind play yet you cant tackle him when he has the ball. :wacko:

Very interesting precedent this decision might set.

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
