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.

18:42

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
