How can you tell someone to go less than 100% at each and every contsest!

He says that you can get the same outcome by using less force, as if you would encourage a player to ever tackle at less than 100% any thing less and he could of broken free from the tack or disposed of the ball!!!!!!

that clown Tinneys argument that the game has changed and this case should be based on the game as it is now and not before was the most ridiculois argument compounded by the fact that he said Trengove could have used less force in the tackle. The game is played at the most frenetic pace than it ever has been so how does a player moderate the amount of force that he applies in a tackle at the pace the game is today.

Absolutely gobsmacked by this decision and the MRP should be lambasted until its disbanded after this. This is a farce but what seriously what do you expect.

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 didn't "adjudicate". That's the role of the tribunal members themselves. He doesn't have to decide on the amount of force, just raise the pertinent issues according to the charge through questioning.

The cheersquad will be fined if they do anything. Our players will be fined for what they've already done (Twitter).

Can we (Demonland, Demonology etc...) come up with some kind of banner or some other kind of symbolic protest for Saturday's game to unveil/perform in the crowd, get a bit of attention and remind everyone that Trengove should be out there against Norf? I can't come up with anything G-rated or not over-the-top with Osama Bin Laden comparisons. Can anyone do any better?

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.

Think you're allowed to, long as you can find somewhere to hang it.

Assuming the appeal fails, a simple banner of 'Free Trengove' would do the damage.

Consequential Damages

Would be very interested in Legal Opinion on this, but my reading of the decsion is it opens all players up to consequential damages.

That is if you do anything at all on the field that is against the rules of the games, and the someone else on the field suffers as a result then you can be charged.

So kicking the ball after a whistle, and someone tries to mark it and they fall and hit ther head then you are out.

If you kick in danger and get someones head with the ball then you are out.

If you kick-in and go over the line the line and then at the other end of the ground someone falls over and bangs there head then you are out.

Note this should also aply to same team offences, so if any of the above result in your own team being injured then you should also be out.

That is consequential damages.

Biggest load of bull I have ever seen.

I am sick of Melbourne being the test of the AFL,I hope like hell the Dees appeal.

When living in North QLD i would hear people call our game gAyFL

I am starting to agree with them

I was both a Demons and Aussie rules fan back in the day but am only a Demons fan now. Aussie rules as I knew it is long gone

RIP Aussie rules

Judd would never even be reported - he is untouchable. I bet if he had come to Melbourne he would have been scrutinised though! :o

Its obvious that you can now no longer tackle with force

All tackles must now have a TFF (Tackle Force Factor) of 72% or less

The MRP will be the final arbiter in determining the TFF of any tackle

Consequently coaches are expected to now instruct their players not to tackle but to try and knock the ball out of the players hands.

God, that is just so MFCSS.

A simple banner "Demetriou, The death of the AFL, The bringer of $oftne$$"

Since he took over, yes the health of the bank balance is great, the game it's self is dying a slow death.

Arm the players with marshmallows and white feathers.

"O'Donnell says the Demons teach players to tackle in that manner"

Looks like we will need to go back to the game plan we had against West Coast.

Posted

I would love to see the team for the whole game refuse to tackle.

Yes we would lose, so what. The afl would have to put up with so much media heat on top of supporters and the betting agencies and TV.

After the game have DB just say we could not afford to have any more players reported.

( I know this would never happen, but I would support the club if they did this.)

Well there are probably a few legal ways to protest. What about after every Dees goal we all stand and start chanting Trengove.

All Dees supporters stand for the first 5 minutes of each quarter and chant AFL crap.

Demonstration outside AFL house.

Supporters stand near radio and TV broadcast boxes and scream out Trengove was robbed.

Bombard AFL house with emails of protest.

Bombard the press with protest emails and tweets.

Ring up radio shows and vent.

etc.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
