If it was Bernie, he'd get 2.

And a fine for something completely innocuous and wholly unrelated to the incident in the same game.

Eg, for swearing to himself after missing a set shot, or farting.

    Jack Trengove was suspended for 3 weeks for a tackle on Dangerfield that was a lot less dangerous than Dangerfield on Kreuzer.

    Lets see if the head is as 'sacrosanct' in 2017 as it was in 2011. Yeah right.  The liars at AFL house have no shame.

    Ummm, have you forgotten that the AFL has an "Integrity  department" ?

    Therefore they are beyond reproach.

    Integrity and all that.

    Another player could do the exact same thing as Dangerfield and get a different punishment. He'll get nothing because the AFL looks after its Brownlow prospects.

    The MRP is corrupt, nobody should be surprised at this point. 

    And of course the betting agencies need to also be looked after...

    Dangerfield simply must be gone here. Anything else will expose the AFL once & for all.

    No way Dangerfield gets suspended. He is a favourite for the Brownlow. Don't you guys know how the AFL works by now??

    Lets see who's got any cohunas !!! :rolleyes:

    Betting Agencies couldn't possibly be blowing Danger's price out already , could they?

    Why would Ollie stop getting Brownlow Votes after the WC game?

    Is something going on here??

    I reckon they have spoiled a few of my nights this year!!

    I can see a conga line of QC's lining up.

    All orchestrated. They'll appeal to tribunal and he'll get off. It's just a transparent attempt at making the MRP look impartial.

    Let's see how impartial Gerard whatleys summary of this is tonight on 360 ... I suspect words like low grade and careless ... bring in the legal team people

    I hope he gets off.

    It would be very helpful for us if the Cats beat the Swans.

    Perhaps that's the third category of suspensions from the MRP:

    1) If you are a Melbourne player, you get rubbed out.

    2) If you hit a Melbourne player, you get off.

    3) If you are playing a competitor for Melbourne's position on the ladder, you get rubbed out.

    :o

     Call me a conspiracy theorist but I think he will contest this and get off. This way the MRP can maintain it's "integrity" when he gets off and can still win the Brownlow. A win win for the "integrity" of the MRP, the AFL, & Channel 7. 

    100% agree! Set up! Add it to my long list of AFL conspiracy theories about the corrupt administrators!

    Head hit the ground hard because both arms were pinned. 

    Pretty hard to defend that i would have thought. 

    Did Kruzer return to the field?

     

    the Brownlow is boring anyway...

    Yep, very similar to the Schofield situation. I've got no doubt that was orchestrated as well to save face.

    Geelong will be instructed to appeal, he'll get off, and everyone will forget it ever happened by Thursday.

    Just looked like any other tackle that was unlucky to me. If people get rubbed out for those type of incidents then they may as well change the name to netball.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
