Please, be wrong!

was on 3aw 4oclock news

seemed to say he can "accept" a 2 week penalty implying it was a 3 weeker! no real details though

Dangerfield's got a soft head. About time he got himself a helmet.

 

It's legit. This is ridiculous, if there had been no concussion no one would have thought twice about it. VERY unlucky.

better bloody challenge it. not only was there no high contact, but the hit was simply an unintentional consequence of the tackle.

If he goes for 2 weeks it'd be terrible after the Campbell Brown crap

BS!

What a joke. Even after one of our better wins there is something to sour the day.

Have to fight this one MFC. A Must!!

medical impact deemed to be high impact. wtf. there was no intent ! Intent was to tackle. It's nothing like the big Mummy's last year. how this can get same amount of weeks for one of campbell brown's is just ridiculous.

Should have elbowed him in the head like Jackson or Tambling. Would have only got a week.

 

Sylvia's sniper didn't get weeks despite the significant impact a broken jaw has...


When that tackle occured, I said to my Dad "he will get suspended for that" to which he replied "you're [censored] joking me aren't you?". I am all for protecting the player, but there was no malice in what was a brilliant tackle. A warning would have sufficed to let Trengove know that he needs to avoid holding the opposition player's arm and slinging him to the ground.

CHALLENGE!

If dangerfield wasnt the AFL's latest poster boy / highlights rheel in SA this would have been a non issue

so basically the way this seems to work is because Dangerfield got injured Trengove should be punished even though he performed a legitimate tackle that was neither reckless or malicious. Had Dangerfield not been injured nobody would even bothered to look at the footage except for coaches wanting to show how to perform a great tackle.

It's actually embarassing how the MRP seems to work sometimes.

I don't post often, but if that tackle ends up costing 2 weeks, possibly 3 with a challenge, then we may as well all start playing Tennis.


"A medical report from the Crows deemed contact between Trengove and Dangerfield was of a high impact."

This is a new one for me. What came first, the AFL report or the medical report and how are they related.

Is this a new can of worms that anyone can open if a player gets hurt?

Can somebody please help me out with an explanation?

From the AFL Website...

Trengove was charged with a level three engaging in rough conduct offence against Adelaide's Patrick Dangerfield in the third quarter of Melbourne's win on Sunday.

Dangerfield was helped from the ground and was immediately substituted off after hitting his head on the ground in a Trengove tackle.

The incident was assessed as negligent, high contact and based on a medical report from the Crows, was also classified as high impact, drawing 325 demerit points and a three-match ban.

An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to 243.75 and a two-match ban.

It might not be a direct quote, and I may have added a word for emphasise. The point is, football is getting softer and softer.

3 weeks?! Get stuffed. He tackled him in the midst in battle. He had no intention to hurt him.

FFS we have to challenge this rubbish!

Massive overkill by the AFL and of course it has to come at the expense of one of our players.

Where was the "high contact"? The tackle was made with one arm around Dangerfield's waist and the other hand holding on to his wrist. At no stage did Trengove contact his head.

He may be technically guilty but the penalty seems high when compared to say Tambling's deliberate elbow to the side of the face for 1 week and Brown's elbow to the face 2 weeks and Kennedy breaking Sylvia's jaw for no weeks. This was a tackle, to the body not to the head, nor a strike by fist or elbow. I would show film of the others mentioned and many more examples and then call an expert to show that his head was hurt only when falling to the ground as a result of a fair tackle.

I would also challenge it if it could be shown that he was only charged after the medical report. In other words no head high contact but head hurt in tackle and therefore he is charged. It is either illegal or not and as they have often said, as in Sylvia's case, the result doesn't make something illegal.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
