Why wasn't Dawes cited?

Why wasn't Dawesy up for review after a forearm that broke a blokes ribs after he got rid of the ball?

Deledio got done then got off for an elbow that caused no injury.

We all know about Viney.

What was different about Dawes' hit?

Consistently inconsistent, I'll give 'em that.

    The deliberate, wilful and premeditated bodyslam was worse.

    I thought the same thing myself.

    I keep reading this, but it really wasn't. Georgiou lifted his legs into a weird curled position after the tackle was done for no real reason.

    Nothing in it.

    Besides, it's Georgiou, you can't hurt him, and he probably slammed Jenkins into himself.

    Georgiou was putting all his weight on Jenkins to get him to the ground. No need for Jenkins to pick him up and slam him.

    A deliberate and some what dangerous incident that deserved a look at even if the ruling was insufficient force for suspension.

    Georgiou getting subbed off may have been related to this unnecessary slam he took.

    As for Dawes he was pushing with a forearm in to the side to get a guy out of bounds. That's a legtimate football play not a suspension

    He drove him into the ground - he could easily have just untangled himself.

    I don't agree. Georgiou was hanging on to Jenkins trying to bring him down. Jenkins then appears to pick Georgiou's legs up and push him down into the ground.

    Compare what Jenkins did with what Viney did - which would you prefer to see eradicated from the game?

    Neither. The 'slam' was harmless and rarely happens.

    A few of you are missing the point anyway.

    Point is Dawes contacted someone late with his forearm and broke their ribs.

    Viney wouldn't have been up for anything had Lynch not broken his jaw.

    Yet one is completely ignored.

    Of course I'm happy with what Dawes did and even happier that nothing came of it, the whole system is a joke.

    Georgiou should be cited for failure in duty of care when tackling Lynch. The same bul**** reason they gave for the Trengove sling tackle.

    Sylvia had his jaw broken - not even looked at....

    When it comes to the MRP Melbourne gets treated like carp EVERY FRIGGING TIME......

    It's all to do with definitions. The MRP and the Tribunal have become very legalistic in their approach.

    Hence, "sacrosanct - adj. regarded as too important or valuable to be interfered with".

    Rookies clearly don't meet that definition.

    When we become a better side, it will improve.

    Just like the umpiring in our games.

    Everyone likes to beat up on the weak kid.

    If Viney was a Collingwood player, he wouldn't even of been up at the tribunal.

    Jenkins was desperately trying to shake him loose, to prevent being almost instantly asphyxiated.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
