Dawes in trouble ?

Like Deledio deliberately elbowing someone in the face a couple of weeks ago and getting a reprimand?

What about the elbow from Vlastuin on Tyson today in the 3rd? Surely that's worse than what Dawes did, do afl.com.au have anything to say about that one?

I'm not sure what Dawes record is like but I reckon it's a week at worst, I reckon a reprimand and a few points is probably fair.

Is there any footage of the Vlastuin hit on Tyson?

Obviously not on the AFL website because that would be prejudicial.

Not that it really matters. The Deledio incident has set the precedent so elbow away Tiges.

I was listening to Grandstand when it happened and they (McClure et al) were pretty confident he'd get a slap on the wrist and a reprimand.

Fingers crossed.

Maclure is like the anti-MRP. That doesn't impress me.

So what happened??

Anyone got any footage or description? At the game and I missed it

I think it was clumsy and should be a high free kick nothing more.

But if they deem it a strike then he'll go because it was high contact, low impact and will probably be classed as reckless, which will make it a level 2 striking offense.

I missed it, which end was it and what did he do?

I was up the city end and didn't notice him do anything wrong.

50m arc Olympic side 2nd quarter.

A very late attempt to spoil contact between chest and neck. Both arms outstretched. A clumsy attempt to disguise what was his intent.

If he has 93 points in the bin and is reckless, high contact, low impact. Say goodbye for 2 weeks. Early plea may get him down to one week.

That's not too bad he gets rid of the points hanging over his head, so shouldn't affect us in the finals..

The very worst it will be, will be 2 weeks downgraded to one with an early plea. So would miss the Port game, but even with him in the team. we wouldn't be much hope of winning anyways (ducks for cover).

Have him fresh to take on the Pies!

What did I just watch?

Is it striking - No.

Is it rough conduct - doubt it.

Yeah ok he follows through to the head but the level of conduct is surely so far below the force required for suspension. It's clear to me Dawes is trying to hamper him from running on and is mainly trying to push in to his body and can't get the hands down quick enough.

If Dawes gets anything at all for this the games a joke. There's no immediate retribution from Rance. His momentum takes him down more than anything and he felt no ill effects.

Dawes got a reprimand in round 7 last year?

Have these points expired yet?

2 weeks down to 1 with an early plea wouldn't be the end of the world. Gives him 2 weeks rest with the bye and have him fresh and fired up for queens birthday.

I dont care if he gets a week, and to be honest he probbaly will

But if he gets 2 he will miss Queens Birthday vs the Pies... that would really really suck

I care. We are an infinitely better team with him on the field.

I care too, of course I want him to get off

But he will cop a week, just hopefully no more

And even if he gets a week it was well worth it as he set the tone early and left Rance rattled all game!!

The folks on the 7 coverage tonight say it will be looked at but nothing in it. I don't think they were taking carryover points into account though. A reprimand would still see him go out for a week.

how long do carry over points last?

We're not a soft team anymore. There will be casualties.

Geez...was just a playful fist kiss :rolleyes:

I agree with the master in that I don't think it is reportable. However if they decide it is, he will go.

The problem will be when they ask for Richmond for a medical report on Rance. At the time, it took Rance 30 seconds to get his bearings and once up he fell again.

I doubt the Tigers are going to say "nah, he was fine just a bit soft and tried to milk a free from it."

Reckless high contact with low force, ball was in play and this is no worse than what deledio go off form, even Stevie j was slipping fists in last night but he's a protected species

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
