Clint Bartram's "Sling" Tackle

Bartram was never going to be in trouble. Take a look at the tackle. He drives the player's shoulder into the turf, not his head. He stayed down because he had already injured that shoulder and the tackle made it worse.

Changing the player, did anyone see Jetta hit a couple of Saints players on the weekend? Both at the northern end of the ground. The second one was just a little whack to the guts but the first one looked like a pretty good hit off the ball (I think on Winmar as well). Surprises me that it didn't even rate a mention in the MRP report.

    I'm very glad Barts is free to play this weekend (god knows we can't afford to lose any more players right now), but FML the MRP and the AFL's 'justice' system are one big giant disgraceful joke.

    I didn't see that, but I did notice McKenzie clothslined off the ball when he was chasing a player on the wing. It was a blatant free that wasn't payed and should have gone to the MRP.

    And they didn't lose by 96 points so I don't think we have to worry about that...

    Ain't it the truth! :rolleyes:

    Frick'n tell me about it!

    Christensen from Geelong has been left out of the Geelong side this week due to concussion, thanks to Carlton's Laidler 'sling tackle' last Friday night.

    Where's the "duty of care" now....

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
