Dawes in trouble ?

Featured Replies

Beezlebub, I'm rapidly becoming a conspiracy theorist in relation to these clowns.

 

its a bit like speed cameras. We all know there are quotas.etc...then they run out the "justification rhetoric"

AFL....mrp ...same rubbish

Now there are genuinely reportable offences, which amazingly go un-noticed but this idea of there must be something every Monday night reeks of agenda

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

Agree as well. And for those who advocate "fly the flag, don't take MRC crap, new Melbourne blah,blah, blah", do you really think the Tribunal will say "Oh, a Jeez, Melbourne's appealing. They must be serious. We'll overturn it"?

Fantasyland.

Hopefully Dawes will think twice before whacking somebody in the head well after the ball left the scene.

 

It's like the scene at the start of 'Flying High' where the grandmother gets frisked as she goes through security and behind her a bloke strolls past carrying a bazooka and numchuckers.

5 min penalty...far too much sense

Interesting take Beelzebub - I hadn't thought of taking an (ice) hockey approach to punishment.

What I was getting at was that each set 'suspendable' offence had a specific number-of-games suspension attached to it. Suspend the action, not the outcome.

I understood

always room on the bus :)

If the ridiculousness of these outcomes is ever going to change, it ain't gonna happen through lying down and copping it sweet.

Appeal the bloody thing.

mate Viney just got off as the second successful appeal in 15 outings, he won't get off and it will cost us QB which would suck hard. The statement of on appeal is not the same as the viney incident either, that was all about the nature of the game itself and a kid being punished for playing with some balls.. this was a clumsy, probably somewhat intentional indiscretion

But it wasn't worth two weeks. It was only worth one at the most and should've been downgraded to a reprimand.

Stop bending over.

we didnt bend over for Viney but as I said this is different

gotta pick your battles

Not being across the rules fully where do we stand on taking it before the tribunal on getting it downgraded to low impact and what is the difference in it being negligent as opposed to reckless ?

I'll be surprised if it's not challenged.

Copping two weeks for that is farcical.

Don't know nothin about it but ifnhe has carryover points it don't make much difference?

I don't know why people keep saying appeal it. First step is to not accept guilt and the week and go to the tribunal. If the decision is upheld he cops the full 2 weeks. Then we could appeal. In any case this not bend over rubbish is piffle. We need him against collingwood. It would be stupid to risk the extra week. Fortunately the club has stopped doing stupid things. Take the hit send move on.

agreed. I reckon the club would have been chuffed to get to keep him for QB, personally. As I said before the hearing I have a sneaking suspicion that the AFL knows Dawes @ QB with the way we are going is worth some gate money and general marketing value and that's why he only got one week. Again, there is no important principle to be argued here as there was for viney. As many have said, let him have a rest, miss a game we will surely lose, and be ripe for QB. The smart move.

it was stupid thing to do but no reason to challenge and have him miss 2

will be a big test to see how the firward line goes in his absence

We are a football club, not a financial institution.

Rather than asking what the risk of appealing is we should be asking what is the risk of not appealing. The reason the MRP does not make stupid rulings against the stronger clubs is that they know the club will hold them to account. If our club does not agree with the ruling (reckless, medium impact) then we have no choice but to appeal it. If we appeal and lose then Dawes gets two weeks but if we win, not only is Dawes available v Port Adelaide in Alice Springs (which I think is a really important game), but we send a clear message to the MRP that we wont stand for their rubbish.

That's a word I'd not heard for a long time

"Piffle"

Love it.

We should fight this, it's a ridiculous decision, and I'd be pretty confident that he'd get off. Yes it was stupid, and he's probably guilty, but this was not medium impact. Glass demolished someone earlier in the year and got low impact. Fight it MFC.

Deledio elbowed someone in the head intentionally during a stoppage and got nothing. It's totally bizarre.

I hope that if we do appeal, the fact that we just did so with Viney won't make them more likely to throw our appeal out. In an ideal world it shouldn't, but this is the AFL so you never know.

cant believe people are complaining about Dawes getting 1 week

we are lucky he didn't get 2 weeks

It was reckless and with force, he clearly purposely smashed Rance in the face to cause harm

And i loved every second of it

Edited by hogans_heroes

Watched the replay again last night (Slightly off topic) I notice how many marks Dawes dropped

He appears to have hard hands! If he had caught some of them he would have kicked a few goals

Should he wear a glove ah la his ex mate Cloake?

Can training fix this problem?

 

It was no worse than what deledio got off for, and certainly not medium impact

Richmonds medical report has stitched us up folks.

  • 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.
