Isnt he supposed to get some sort of discount as he has a clean record?

He could have accepted two weeks, that was his 'discount'. Oh well, Crows have the last laugh. They played like garbage, but get a giggle over causing this. Next time one of our players gets hurt, I hope we kick up a stink and cause the MRP to have a hearing. All 17 teams should - then the system would become so unworkable, it would fall over. It's called 'civil obedience' - insisting on the enforcement of your rights by a system that isn't capable of enforcing everyones!

Watch out North - you had better not sneeze on any of our players and give them a cold - or it's the tribunal for you!!!! :lol:

(*NB: protest does not = start a new thread ;)

they can appeal - and should!

AFL boxed themselves in irreparably and stupidly here...

Evidence was that that is how players are TAUGHT to tackle

Laws of AFL now state you can't tackle like that - so for us to challenge it meant they had 2 options:

1) agree with the MRP, and make it known that now every tackler has been taught wrong, and every player will now have to adjust EVERY tackle they make from hereon in - BUT the Laws are correct!

Or

2) overule the MRP, thereby making a mockery of their particularly incompetent, and never road-tested Laws!

This all evolved from the MEDICAL REPORT of DField - ie the RESULT/ IMPACT! Thereby negating the fact that the tackle WAS actually legit!

Seriously - i saw 2 of these tackles in last nights game, but nobody with a predisposition to concussion was tackled, thereby there will be NO report!

Ass-backwards logic of the Laws has just shunted the game back decades, long-term, and hurt the Demons badly (and Trengove's fine record) in the short-term for NO JUST RESULT!!

Can someone explain to me how he gets charged for high contact when it is actually the turf that contacts his head?

If Dangerfield had of broken his arm from the tackle, which is a far worse injury, the activation points would not be as great due to high contact being ommitted, and he would get less weeks. Doesn't make any sense to me, and I think we should challenge this further.

Couple of tweets:

Col Sylvia: Can not believe it - guilty @jtren9 to miss the next 3weeks, shattering for him & the team!!! :( I'm scared to tackle now...

Luke Tapscott: @Real_ColSylvia are we allowed to tackle anymore?

James Frawley: I thought my mate played for the Melbourne demons.... Not the Melbourne vixens!!!

Mark Robinson: lack of duty of care, said tribunal. lack of understanding, says most of the rest of us

Brad Green: Duty of care??? It was the perfect tackle...

register your displeasure directly to the great man himself

http://www.findlaw.com.au/lawyer/6448/andrew-tinney.aspx

Settle down. As much as I think the decision stinks for the spirit and the future direction of the game, Tinney is the Tribunal Advocate. His role is to argue the case for the charge, much like the prosecution in a legal case. Firing off e-mails to him will achieve nothing.

In the immediate term, all the club can do is appeal, and in the long run lobby to have the tribunal penalty system revised so a strong tackle in the heat of the game doesn't get as much of a penalty as a sniping elbow behind play.

Expected result. The AFL are now clear on the fact that a negligent tackle resulting in the head hitting the ground, is worse than a king hit with a fist to the head. Seems like a strange way of judging it.

Trengrove grabbed Dangerfield around the waist - apparently that is the new 'too high'. If you grab around the legs, it is tripping. Next week expect to see players grabbing each others buttocks - because that's about the only area left available for tackling now!

How is Jeff White's face not high? Colin Sylvia's jaw? Has the AFL really thought this one through?

Very tempted to watch as many games as possible this weekend, put together a compilation of the same tackles that do NOT cause a concussion and send it to Footy Classified or something.

I would love you to do that !!! I dare say you could pull at least 30 + tackels where players grab a arm and sling them to ground !!!

It is obvious given his previous instances re Steven Baker/Steve Johnson case that he goes beyond what is called for as the tribunal advocate and his healthy ego requires him to leave his stamp on proceedings. I fail to see how a lawyer can question or adjudicate on matters of tackling technique and whether Trengove could have used less force.

Tinney said we were playing on our "home turf" hence making Trengove responisble for the turf.

Joke lol

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
