Featured Replies

Tinney reading medical report from Adelaide doctor. States that Dangerfield suffered concussion, and was unable to continue playing. His symptoms increased by the end of the game. Report also states that Dangerfield is still having his cognitive function monitored daily.

Load of [censored]. Dangerfield's had so many concussions...the doctors obviously don't know what a headache is. :P:rolleyes:

They don't say that he has suffered any sort of impairment though. Daily monitoring would be a standard part of the treatment for such an injury. They're trying very hard to make it sound worse than it is.

Loving our evidence so far.

Yep, O'Donnell might save JT here.

Iain Findlay calls Melbourne assistant coach Kelly O'Donnell to the witness stand. He's giving evidence about how the Demons teach their players to tackle.

O'Donnell says he believes Jack Trengove has near-perfect tackling technique. Chest close to opponent, twisting of the hips and pulling back to affect the opponent's disposal or dispossess.

O'Donnell says Trengove's tackle was shown in the team's match review on Monday as an example of an excellent tackle.

Loving our evidence so far.

Our evidence should be "this is no netball, [censored] off".

Ridiculous!

 

What sort of defense is " we use this all the time at training"? Doesn't make it legal


Tribunal chairman David Jones asks O'Donnell: 'So, the consequence of the tackle doesn't come into it?'

That's exactly what is wrong with this rule dude. The consequences can't be taken into account.

Tinney asks: 'So is your teaching to bring the opponent to the ground with as much force as possible

This is a cheap shot by Tinney

What sort of defense is " we use this all the time at training"? Doesn't make it legal

It shows that we don't believe it's dangerous to tackle this way or else we wouldn't tackle this way at training, thus risking injury to our own players.

Tinney asks: 'So is your teaching to bring the opponent to the ground with as much force as possible?

No TinnArse, we teach them to go in half-hearted and hope like all hell that our players don't get injured....

JOKE!

Mark Macgugan: Tinney asks: 'So is your teaching to bring the opponent to the ground with as much force as possible?' O'Donnell: no, we teach them to tackle in a way that will dispossess the opponent or affect his disposal. We don't see the technique that we teach as involving undue force.

Maybe Trenners should politely ask Patrick to let go of the ball.....please


how the F... can you tackle someone these days? cant tackle their legs its tripping, cant go around their arms.... head high etc so you have a 1 foot gap to hit them where it has zero impact on them....and their disposal etc this is a joke

all this talk about tackling is giving me a concussion - 3 weeks Forums!

Mark Macgugan: Ball highlighting that Dangerfield was in a kicking motion as he was tackled. His leg comes through and misses the ball, which contributes to the momentum with which he falls towards the ground. Trengove also loses his footing, giving him less control as he carries out the tackle.

Ball also says that Dangerfield did get an arm out on his way down, and both his arm and chest/torso hit the ground before his head did. Doesn't deny that Dangerfield's head hit the ground though.

Thank you! How can they claim he couldn't protect himself when he had an arm free and got it to ground before his head hit?

Cracking response to the You Tube video

"Totally worthy of a report. A legitimate tackle these days involves cradling the opposition player in one's strong yet gentle arms, and singing a tender lullaby while carefully lowering him onto some downy soft pillows. So the MRP believes, anyway."

:)

Mark Macgugan:

Ball being questioned by Tinney now. Tinney: Dangerfield looked helpless.

I'm sure he meant "Hopeless" :P

 

Mark Macgugan: Trengove: As he grabbed the ball, I grabbed his hand. Reason for doing that was to prevent him from handballing. Next thought was he'd then try and kick it. To prevent him from doing that I pulled him back, as taught by the club.

Mark Macgugan: Trengove says he is aware of his duty of care to other players. Doesn't believe he did anything wrong in this tackle. Says he was technically correct, and didn't use excessive force.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
