Dawes in trouble ?

Featured Replies

Gents, when you resort to the personal slanging match, it is time to get a better argument.

If we weren't playing the Pies the following week I'd almost take the risk and appeal.

But it's not worth it. We won't beat Port anyway.

Have you actually watched the incident? If course Roos would defend his player. I think Dawes is a great addition to our side but that act was brutish and unnecessary.

this is where as a club I seriously think we have to think beyond this..Collingwood would. its a principle with a purpose

yeah yeah I know the stragecic ideal but we are evolving past that.

its has to be " we dont take shlt '

As for the Dawes suspension, I look at the situation as a sort of cost-benefit thing. Bitter, I agree that the fend-off was on the lower end of the on-field footy indiscretion scale.

If the Demons decided to appeal and lost (resulting in Dawes missing QB), I'd be annoyed. I say just take the week.

brutish.....;ooooooooh

god help footy

btw...youre pretty funny

I dont think you should follow footy...might be harmful to your pysche

I think the match review panel may have had that Adelaide player in the back of their minds who suffered broken ribs from a raking spoil from Dawes when making their decision. Dawes is like a grizzly bear swatting bees that get in the way of the honey.

It's time to get "spell check" Maple.

Sorry couldn't resist.

 

I thought we should appeal Jack's suspension as he was merely protecting himself.

What Dawesy did was pretty reckless. 1 week is fine. Take it and have him back raring against the Pies.

Damn smartphone keyboard!

I do understand this cost -benefit thing as you put it.But I suggest, imho, a bigger picture or grander stance. i.e We wont roll over to this rubbish anymore. Next week , nor the week after are really that important in the next few years but as a stance of saying ...wtf...thats rubbish umpire and we're prepared to back ourselves in..( JUST AS WE ARE ON THE FIELD)

A lot of this is psuedo subliminal.. I admire how the Sqawkers and Filth operate in this regard

This whole 'low impact, high impact, intentional, unintentional blah blah blah' horseshit has lead to minor incidents resulting in suspensions and genuine hits such as Chapmans in Brisbane being ignored. You used to be able to look at an incident and confidently make a prediction either way. Now we have a ridiculous system which appears to have bypassed logic and replaced it with the most facked formula of all time.

Agree. At last some rational sense. Where do these trolls like Beelzy baby and tight bottie come from?

Ok, he gets a week but Johnson headbutts a guy then elbows another in a pack for which he doesnt get cited and also gets one. I don't get it.

I hear you brother

its become so...umm... supposedly demonstratively equivocal in appropriating a consistent approach to what is, or isn't but its just sunk into a quagmire of sewage.

The fault I sense was supposing you could adjudge things in soe sort of quantifiable way. ...yes that whack was a 4...that one a 7 etc. He fell over as a 8, his jaw broke as a 9......

flawed in concept...comical in delivery

The MRP is like a box of chocolates, u never know what you r gunna get.

They're never going to see every one. Like the police and the speed cameras etc

I saw it on TV 3000 km away. If they are going to pick up everything then do it or keep it as a game where there's a bit of rough and tumble.

And don't get me started on speed cameras for facks sake.

strangely I have to pee

The issue is that they are (usually) trying to punish the outcome (ie. injury level) instead of the action. It should be the other way around. Also, medical reports should play no part in determining if, or for how long, a player gets suspended.

  • 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.
