Match Review Panel Farce

[John Crow Batty 8,879]

The one match suspension when it should have been two or three with early plea also allows the opportunity for it to be downgraded to a fine.

If Geelong appeal Danger gets OFF! 100%

The AFL will be telling Geelong to appeal and the AFL will be telling the MRP to down grade the suspension to a fine. 

It will happen...

No red faces on Brownlow night!

Rule change for Brownlow will be made for next season...

So the MRP failed to make their weekly outrageous decision.

Fortunately the AFL have the tribunal as a backstop. They have planned for all contingencies.

A QC will claim that Danger did not in fact tackle Kruezer, as a matter of fact it wasn't even a game of Aussie Rules, that the MCG does not exist, that Danger himself does not exist and even if he did this very situation is in the Magna Carta.

The tribunal will find this credible and convincing and Danger lines up next week.

Frankenstein again in the clear for high contact.  Their usual protection of Sydney players and of this individual in particular.

100% gets off there is no doubt in my mind. Pin up boy for the AFL he ain't getting suspended. Can you imagine him giving the brownlow to Dusty hahaha no chance the AFL are the Mafia.

What are the bookmakers saying about him being rubbed out.

Its their money on the line and that will influence the AFL

[Willmoy1947 4,152]

The Cats have had three days to decide what to do. The bloody Coach of the Cats says to the AFL, we haven't made up our mind what we're going to do........

Give us a break....

EXACTLY....the commentators were clear . " thats a sling tackle when the arm is locked down and you've got no way of protecting yourself" We hated that at the time but if you're going to bring it in then bring it in...dont not apply it because its Dangerfield. If it was oliver it probaby would have been 3 again. FMD

Whilst I think this will happen Kruezer was coscussed. The same report as when we played Carlton. They can't fine (well they can I know) when the player was concussed.

Gotta talk to the AFL about the embarrassing look of a Brownlow medallist presenting a brownlow to the second place getter because he was rubbed out....

[JTR 2,856]

Been listening to KB*** on SEN this morning re the Dangerfield issue and it has been driving me nuts.

He and some of the morons calling in are not happy with the Dangerfield suspension and are now pushing for the tackler of all players who hit their head and get concussed to be rubbed out.

Also ranting about inconsistency for tackles where players are concussed, using Kents tackle on Sloane and Burgoynes tackle on Reid last year as glaring examples of double standards because Kent/Burgoyne were not suspended.

Spot the difference KB/SEN callers, you flogs...

Kent DID NOT pin Sloanes arms

Burgoyne DID NOT pin Reids arms

Dangerfield PINNED Kruezers arms

Once the tackler pins the arms of a player and takes away their ability to stop their head hitting the ground, all onus is on the tackler.  Seems pretty simple to me.  

 

*** no need to say it.

[Bluey's Dad 3,419]

Finally managed to watch a clip of the tackle after reading about it here (and listening to people speak about it on the radio).

For mine, @JTR above is correct. If you pin an arm, preventing a player from bracing themselves for their head to hit the ground, you take responsibility.

The replay clearly shows Dangerfield pinning an arm and driving Kreuzer head first into the ground.

It must be sanctioned with the loss of games.

 

The Brownlow discussion is irrelevant. If you take an action like this and are suspended, you are ineligible.

 

As for consistency, I think the commentators who are arguing that Buddy wasn't charged have it the wrong way around. The fact that Buddy's intentional high contact wasn't picked up on by the MRP indicates that they aren't serious about the head being sacrosanct any more. The lack of consistency here is that Buddy WASN'T charged, not that Dangerfield WAS.

[Ethan Tremblay 31,088]

Some of the betting agencies are going to pay out punters if the suspension stands and Dangerfield polls the most Brownlow votes.

Good

Do not pin a players arms and then drive the player to the ground. Concussion is a dangerous place  

Simple. Train to tackle a different way
