    Mark Macgugan: Trengove says he is aware of his duty of care to other players. Doesn't believe he did anything wrong in this tackle. Says he was technically correct, and didn't use excessive force.

    Surely consequences only come into it if he's proven to be negligent....? if he's not negligent then it's a football incident.. the same as curnow.. the same as someone diving across someone's leg to make a smother.

    Mark Macgugan: Trengove: As he grabbed the ball, I grabbed his hand. Reason for doing that was to prevent him from handballing. Next thought was he'd then try and kick it. To prevent him from doing that I pulled him back, as taught by the club.

    Now that is smart work by the club.... Brodie Smith is obviously not a [censored] like DangerMouse!

    Mark Macgugan: Trengove: the club teaches us that if you can grab an arm it's definitely acceptable because it will stop the opponent from disposing of the ball. It was an accident. I didn't intend for him to get concussed. Don't think I used any unusual level of force.

    Beauty.

    Tinney will find a way to give him three weeks, though.

    If Trenners misses weeks for this, it will totally change his tackling technique in the future....

    Unacceptable!

    Comment From DeeFan DeeFan: ]

    Mark, Is it likely that Melbourne can argue the fact head high contact wasn't made by the player, the interpretation of the law states that *contact* from *A* player constitutes head high contact....... is it likely Melbourne will go down that path?

    Mark Macgugan: Question from tribunal counsel Tinney: Were you still holding Dangerfield's right arm when he hit the ground? Trengove: In such a quick situation, I didn't have time to let his arm go.

    The accident part, shoulda left that out!

  • Quote

    Mark Macgugan: Tinney: you said you didn't put a great amount of force into the tackle. Didn't you put as much force as you could into it? Trengove: I don't think I did. I think the momentum was increased because we were both off balance.

  • Quote

    Mark Macgugan: Tinney suggesting Trengove could have achieved what he was trying to without this amount of force. Trengove disagrees.

    Where are you getting your live information about the hearing from??

    Gold!

    I'd be pushing the precedent angle. If he gets weeks for this then every single tackle where an arm is pinned as player is tackled to the ground should be reported. The outcome, injury-wise is irrelevent. Are they prepared to suspend multiple players every week who will inevitably use the same technique? I doubt it.

    This is all a loud of rubbish. The tribunal have seen the video. They would of made up their minds already anyway.

    challenge!!! umpiring was shocking all day.

    I have to agree with you there - apparently it is ok for Adelaide players to trip Melbourne players in front of the umpire, because red and blue = invisibile. Just like our boys weren't getting pulled off the ball all day, and Crows weren't gifted four of their eight goals. I even saw one of the spectators run to the barrier and offer the umpire his OPSM cut out spectacles - if it wasn't so sad it would have been funny! :rolleyes:

    I'm wondering if Tinney ever played football at a high level. Some of his questions reveal remarkable (deliberate?) ignorance of how the game is played.

  • Quote

    Mark Macgugan: Tinney now summing up. He says: in the past this tackle would have been seen as acceptable. But football as changed. It must be decided in the context of the rules as they now apply, not as they used to apply.

  • Quote

    not so sure i would've called the Tackling Coach - coz basically, what they are inviting the Tribunal to do is say that type of tackling is ILLEGAL!

    Tribunal: Damned if they do (suspend, then everything every junior footballer all around country is taught, is WRONG!)

    Damned if they don't (no suspension, rules are a joke!)

    very risky strategy - Tom Cruise would approve...

    surely this now sets a precedent over this type of tackle, its now an immediate 2 weeks, irrespective of the outcome... pretty much you can not tackle anymore

  • Quote

    Mark Macgugan: Tinney reading through the rules on when a tackle may be considered unreasonably dangerous. Relevant here is that the arm of the player was being held, which made it 'a tackle of an inherently dangerous kind'. Dangerfield was unable to control his movements or protect his head. Also to be considered, 'a player may not be slung or driven into the ground with an excessive level of force'. Tinney suggesting the same outcome could have been achieved with considerably less force than was used.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
