Everyone's up in arms here. I'm not happy about it, but not unhappy either. The head is sacrosanct, and what Dawes did, was just stupidity. The extra week off might make him realise that. Not the worst timing to get the extra week off either.

He'll miss the clash against Port, even with him, we wouldn't be much of a chance. He doesn't have to face the arduous task of recovery from playing the NT game, he gets extra hungry to face the filth and is cherry ripe to go.

The head can be sacrosanct without rubbing guys out of games for every minor contact. It was worth a free kick which is a penalty as well but didn't warrant more than that.

If Malcelski is able to cleared for blatantly collecting an Ump..I mean he just walked into him, how is Dawes' love tap an issue....sheesh !!

Can any one say for certain if there are more loading a if we challenge?

Yeah he copped 2 weeks. 1 with an early plea. So if a challenge is unsuccessful he gets 2 weeks and I go hungry on HoF night and the guests that don't have the balls to boycott it will miss out on great company.

He got 225 points so 2 weeks (2 weeks!) down to 1 with a guilty plea. If he challenges and loses he'll cop the full 2 weeks. It really should have been 1 down to a reprimand (same as Deledio's was) if anything.

I totally agree. Good summary. He smashed the guy in the face. I wouldn't have liked to be on the receiving end!

Pretty staggered that it generated a two game suspension originally - what was in Richmond's medical report?

Having said that, if you watch again - about a minute afterwards Rance falls over like he's been hit by a tram.

May've hurt more than it looked.

My feeling is that we should take the one match but then I consider the fact the Delidio managed to get off with a reprimand and part of me thinks that we should challenge based on the impact rating. He wasn't concussed and he got up straight away, surely that constitutes low impact.

I think we're gonna be in big trouble without him. I can foresee us kicking a very small score.

Darwin may not be too Dawes' liking. Its a very draining environment up there......

Might do him good to have a week off.

Especially if he has to then travel from Darwin to Alice Springs, which is where the match is being played ;)

Yeah it was captured at the time it happened (not sure if shown on a replay) during the Fox coverage. Not much in it, Tyson didn't do much more than grab his chin but still it was a deliberate elbow to the head of an opponent during a stop in play - surely that is worse than a careless forearm to the head during the play but noones said boo about it.

The most frustrating part of the MRP.

Considering it was created to catch all incidents to rid the game of off the ball cheap hits they sure miss a few. Seems they really get most of the ones that the TV cameras see and talk about.

He'll be super fresh for finals guys!

good to see you're keeping a lid on it

Oh well, its one week and we just bring Chip back in.

Now the Dawes open for Pedo to take centre stage.

...but enough about the Rolf Harris trial..

Which part of the classification do you disagree with? If you take it to the tribunal, you will have to challenge one or more of the aspects of the classification. We would just be asking for the 1 week to become 2. If we challenge and lose (and we will lose, if we challenge), that is when I'll be absolutely livid.

The fact that they got the Deledio one wrong doesn't make this one wrong. Intentional or not, it should not be okay for a player's arm to make contact with a player's face to the point where he is dazed. An action does not have to be malicious or "dirty" for it to also be wrong.

Impact being medium, should really be low, Rance played on for the rest of the game. If Richmond are to say he had any after effects due to the blow to the head then they should be I'm trouble with the concussion ruling.

Many harder hits have got off, young on chapman

For the record - Dawes has ZERO carryover points. They expire after 12 months, which means his conveniently expired last round.

Personally, I think the "Medium impact" is outrageously excessive. He should have been offered 1 week down to zero with a guilty plea.

Unfortunately it is not worth the risk to challenge, so we'll just cop the week.

I agree MegaWatts, i'd challenge both:

- medium impact, on the basis that Rance was fine to get up and keep playing

- reckless, on the basis that Dawes tried to puah Rance in the chest but being off balance (like Deledio) accidently got Rance in the head

Dawes is a really important inclusion for the Port game and i'd hate to see him miss because we are being too risk averse. If we think the MRP got it wrong lets roll the dice and if Dawes gets two then [censored] them, we play QB without him.

Dawes wants to be a leader?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
