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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
