    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.

    Mark Macgugan: Trengove now recalling a tackle on Brodie Smith in the very next sequence of play. Says he used the exact same technique in that tackle with no consequence.

    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!

    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.

    • 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.

      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?

      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?
