Equal tackle to Trengoves. Slung same way. Great tackle. Player hit head on ground but apparently not concussed. Play on was the call.

2 weeks.

The one on Goldsack ?

I've found myself watching tackles instead of watching the game

just posted this in another thread.

will travis varcoe go for his tackle on goldsack. chased him down, slung him to the ground and he hit his head as he fell. pinned both arms so goldsack couldnt cushion his fall. while he wasnt injured, if this is the stance the afl wants to take in terms of protecting the head, then surely he has to be reported. (he definitely shouldn't, it was a great tackle, but this is the afl we are talking about.)

Trenners just picked the wrong bloke to tackle, Dangerfield goes out like a light when anything goes near his head. I reckon that Goldsack got hit just as hard, but bounced straight back up.

Ye I just saw that!!was worst than trenners tackle!if cited he should get 3 weeks for that!they have to be consistent!also good on goldsack for getting up straight away!he was tackled just as hard as dangerfield and his head hit the ground yet he got up straight away and didn't put on a pathetic performance like dangerfield!3 weeks

Unfortunately, unless you are knocked out, it will not be a reportable offence.

This does not mirror the bump, where Campbell Brown missed Barry Halls head when he took him front on, but still got weeks.

As with most things AFL, inconsistency rules.

Did anyone just hear Tom Harley commentating on tv he said yes pinned his arm and slung him to the ground ...Text book tackle!!....good on ya Tom that was a well covered twitter!!!

if the AFL believe that kind of tackle is dangerous they are being negligent in allowing them to occur as part f the game many times. They are inviting the injury in allowing it and then blaming the player when it goes wrong.

I just can't see how it can be anything other than an acident when such a tackle (pinned arms and slung) happens so frequently in a game.

It should be about technique and process not result or as I said the AFL are inviting it and the ones being negligent.

Trengove is just unlucky that dangerfield went to kick and was off balance as he was tackled. But he wasn't when he committed to the tackle and was not something Trengove could have been aware of in the 1.3 seconds it took to complete the tackle. As in most circumstances ie. Most of the tackles tonight and even the one he lays 5 seconds latter there is no problem.

Haha, nice to hear.

So lets get this straight, a tackle can be laid & completed & is perfectly legal until the recipient hits his head & is concussed right? So one second it is legal & then the next it becomes illegal. Makes perfect sense to me.

The question is whether forceful impact is made to the head. If this has occurred the offence is the same as Trengoves however it will probably only worth one week as it will not be judged as high impact.

The issue of concussion is irrelevant on the negligent and High contact points allocation, through it does play into the assessment of the force of the incident

Can we get any isolated footage of this Varcoe tackle, and make it available as a direct comparison to the Trengove tackle, perhaps to headline the 'Free Jack' Facebook page?

Posted

Leigh Brown did a pretty similar tackle in the second quarter i think. Very similar.... we should get a compilation of every tackle like that for the weekend, and just send it to the A.F.L

Posted

anyone got a link to some footage where I can see this tackle?

ye i know that varcoe wont get suspended over it but i would love it if we sent in a video and were able to see what crap the afl come up with to explain why varcoe wasnt cited

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
