Dunn, suspended

Featured Replies

i was just thinking how good would it be if we could put Trenners final 2 weeks of his suspension onto Dunny so Dunny gets 4 and trenners comes in this week?? Dunny should be allowed to take one for the team

 

Well thats not how the penalty system works. Impact plays a role in activation points.

Yes, Dunn was lucky he didn't do more damage. Same as the drunk driver who doesn't have a crash and kill someone.

Unfortunately that is how the system works.

Varcoe, Tippett and Stanley all did sling tackles where they hit shoulder on turf then head on turf. ala Trengove but because player A isn't injured they get off.

That's a cop letting off a drunk driver because he didn't kill or hurt anyone.

On this point you have my total agreement

The rules(matrix) of rough play for tackles badly need fixing and rewording. I'll bet its done at end of season but too late for Jack who was well and truly made a sacrificial lamb and laid out to dry.

BTW, I meant to add that Dunn getting 3 games (325 activation points) is still a serious punishment. People calling for more are being too emotional. I'm not a Dunn fan but I thought he got the right punishment.

Had Dunn actually caused injury to the player emphasis great force of the crude tackle he would have and should have got more but 3 weeks is about right for the act.

Yes, but even if the injury report had said that Pratt had suffered injury, we could have had a Dangerfield case where Pratt ends up playing the next game anyway.

Dunn deliberately bumped Pratt. He made contact with the head region. That to me is enough for a 4 week suspension, minimum. It's exactly the kind of thing we want to eradicate from the game.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
