Dawes in trouble ?

Featured Replies

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.

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

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!

The grading of this is garbage, MRP is incompetent

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.

thought the Oscars were over this year :rolleyes:

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.

Very silly to challenge. A week off from port and NT is no big deal. Risk of 2 weeks and not playing against the scum on QB would be not worth it.

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.

Accept the week and move on,a stupid,selfish act!

Dawes wants to be a leader?

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
