I honestly don't agree with you Thomo. That said, we'll wait til tonight. Tribunal convenes at 5pm I believe, not sure if Jack is up first.

Trengove puts nearly an identical tackle on Brodie Smith ...all but seconds later.. Because Smith didnt duck his head so much theres a differing result.. Somehow hes at fault the first time and not the second ?? Intention ...exactly the same on both acccounts.

This is all cow manure...fair dinkum !!

It will be interesting to see if that is the argument that Melbourne go with, that Dangerfield caused or contributed to the way in which he hit the ground, so Trengove was not negligent.

    Watching the replay, I can see a three-part thing with it.

    1) Trengove couldn't have known that the ball was released by Dangerfield. His head was in Dangerfield's back, and while he could have *possibly* glimpsed the pill as he went around, I doubt that he did.

    2) Part of the issue is that Dangerfield has gone to kick the ball as Trengove has tackled him, so as Trenners has dragged him around, he has done so with Dangerfield on one foot. This is what has generated the force.

    3) He's not actually holding his arm in along the lines of the Byron tackle. Rather, Trenners has actually grabbed Dangerfield's right arm with his right hand.

    I reckon the negligent part is gone for sure. The rest I'm not sure of, hard because Dangerfield was concussed.

    It isn't required, if it isn't negligent, it's accidental, therefore no case to answer.

    Yeah, I'm the one that asked the question, deciding whether to start dinner now or to wait...

    If I remember correctly, Dangerfield was hit heavily in a marking contest prior to the Trengove tackle. Isn't it possible he was already suffering some form of concussion from that, yet came back on the ground?

    Good point. And if it is the case that he was hit earlier how can the medical report that this charge is based on separate the two? Can it correctly attribute which impact caused what symptoms?

    It's like watching grass grow, this live tribunal crap....

    Something Dangermouse saw quite closely on Sunday while he was crying (grass growing)

    I will go ape droppings if he cops the full three matches! Or two... Or one for that matter....

    i think he'll get a concession, but doubt he'll get completley off the hook?

    I could live with 1 week.

    Tapscott should represent Trenners tonight.

    just thinking lateraly - Dangerfield has a history of concussions, to the point he might be considered more prone to it than others...

    Give the ass-backwards manner in which this report came to being - If this tackle had happened on, say, Moles (which it DID!), and there is NO concussion, there would never have been a report!

    How can any system work this way?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
