"Notman said the medical report detailing Dangerfield's injury was the most damaging evidence produced at the tribunal hearing"

And let's not forget Dangerfield got BOG the following week. So much for serious concussion

 

Should get multiple weeks for that. But of course if the player gets up and plays on the AFL won’t punish. 

as the commentator said "there wouldn't be any malice in that from burgoyne, he thought he still had the ball"

there are always protected species, clubs

it was exactly the tackle the law was brought in to stop

if there is any consistency (joke) he has to be suspended

Agree 100%, dc.

Still can't believe Jack got suspended for that.

100% perfect tackle. Should have had a free his way for dropping the ball

 

It was a reckless, dangerous tackle that was completely unnecessary. The AFL is weak if he gets anything less than a couple of weeks. And how ridiculous that the penalty depends on the outcome. Whether or not Burgoyne thought Dangerfield had the ball is irrelevant - there’s a duty of care. 


well that sets the tone for dangerous tackles for the rest of the season

How on earth did he only get a fine unbelievable 

Is that a serious question?

What colours does he wear?

There shouldn't be a rule tweak here, the players know what they are not allowed to do. The AFL should be retrospectively be appealing and he should get one week. Honestly such a joke and every player that gets done for it now (what's the bet Viney will next week) should feel rightly p****d off that Burgoyne got away with a suspension.  


What’s the phrase the AFL has used for the last ~5 years? Essentially about personally accountability of the player to not looking to hurt the other player.

Ffs because it is PB he gets a free ride, Viney cops the punishment.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
