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.

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........

I just want to remind everyone that this got 3 weeks.

 

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....

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.

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.

Has accepted ban! 

 

From :- The Age

Geelong superstar Patrick Dangerfield will not be eligible to win the 2017 Brownlow Medal after he accepted his one-match suspension from the match review panel.

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

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
