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?

    Clearly it doesn't.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      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?
