So the outcome has no relevance any more? A guy who uses his momentum (all 70kg and 171cm) brings down a 90kg and 193cm player and it is somehow deemed dangerous? The Brisbane player was stunned.... he got a free!! The more I see the less I like this game and where it's headed.

Congrats to Goodwin tonight for defending our players on AFL 360... not!  Goodwin better be saying other things behind closed doors because players can sense BS!

Before potting Goodwin, tell us what he was asked and what he said?

    It was the sling tackle in the last quarter. The 3rd quarter was deemed a spear tackle.

    Was it?

    The MRO statement refers to a tackle in the second quarter. The sling we're all talking about was in the fourth.

    Not sure if these vids work but both tackles were not dangerous in my opinion. Just the usual crap from biased, corrupt umpires:

    Tackle 1 - 3rd quarter (I assume this was the one that copped the fine):

    Tackle 2 - 4th quarter:

    There is no way the 3rd quarter one should have been fined. It was perfect.  I can understand the 4th quarter one could be a "sling" tackle.

    Second one for sure, I thought he rolled him enough to avoid a free and certainly a sanction, but I understand the reasoning and he just needs to pull it back slightly.

    First one is 100% a joke. Even Healy thought that and this is a guy that kept saying Jetta was leading with his head while picking the ball up.

    the "dangerous tackle"/"spear tackle" was more of a hit/bump anyway 

    Love the aggression from Kozzie, even if he's given away a few free kicks (inc some downfield ones)

    The MRO statement also said it was a tackle on Berry, that was the 4th quarter one.

    I think maybe they just listed the wrong quarter.

    it wasn't a spear tackle or even a semi-spear tackle

    if you want to see a spear tackle go and look it up on youtube for nrl

    wish everyone would stop calling it a spear tackle

    it was the sort of front on tackle mumford does frequently and un-penalised. you'd think mumford would be more dangerous than little kozzie.

    kozzie's so-called sling tackle was very marginal. surprised he got fined let alone paid a free-against (assuming this was the one he got fined for)

    Exactly right, he was in a stationary position, a spear is executed with a 3-5 meter run up.

    Insanely stupid fine.

    nothing to do with 3-5m run up

    a spear tackle is where player being tackled is lifted off the ground (generally above the horizontal) and then head/shoulders slammed into the turf.

    nothing even remotely what kozzie did, tackling player front on then driving him backwards onto his rrrs

    it was a textbook great tackle and he should be applauded for it

    i'm not familiar with wwe, so i looked it up.......and yes, i see what you mean :)

    "spear tackle" terminology in football i believe originated in rugby (both union and league) and here it is where the one tackled is lifted, turned upside down (to some degree, usually greater than the horizontal), then dropped or driven (like "spear") to the ground. A very, very dangerous tackle which can lead to concussion, broken neck or paralysis. this obviously is very different to the term used in wwe

    I love his aggression but he has a habit (like a lot of chasing smalls) to shove the player after they’ve kicked the ball. That’s completely pointless and gives them the ball for free downfield. Go the tackle or bump because both will panic them the next time, a shove isn’t going to do anything.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
