Nibbler Suspended for 4 Weeks


Demonland

Recommended Posts

In all seriousness - I get the protect the head/player thing- what was Nibbler actually meant to do? - he is tackling a bloke who is resisting being tackled and off balance trying to kick while being turned 360+, he can't just let go mid tackle - would be crucified by all and sundry

 

I don't get that he really had any other choice but to complete the tackle

ANB has just been transferred to “ inconsistency world”.  
Let’s see what happens 

You mean the world that lets Burgoyne get away with a fine? Twice.

1st Offence

2nd Offence

I thought it was a very clumsy and reckless tackle. Looked like his intent was to sling him from the start. He'd be fortunate only to get 3.

Along with AVB reversing the near certain goal on the siren, Nibbler's tackle was one of the dumbest things we can take from the evening. 

As for Burgoyne, we'll...

Burgoyne....

Please Explain...

Free Kick Whorethorn 

In addition, it was the above first dangerous tackle by Burgoyne that was the genesis of the crackdown on dangerous tackles. The crackdown obviously didn't take that into account for his 2nd dangerous tackle for 2020.

Not much apart from the fact that Nibber is not a ‘superstar’ so is expendable for their value-signalling.  Not a bog player at a big club so his ticket is already punched.

That it is not a sporting competition. That it is an entertainment experience. "Survivor AFL." "AFL's Got Talent." "Goalkicking With The Stars." "My Midfield Rules."

The integrity and manipulation and favouritism is along the line of any reality show.

Probably the most succinct statement of where the game is at. Bravo. Yet I can't avert my eyes.

Makes my blood boil seeing those Burgoyne tackles. AFL- Now let's make a statement at the tribunal this week. It's like putting the village i@i@t in the stocks so everyone can throw things at him while the privileged ahole rides off to his country estate after causing mayhem.

100% agree on this. It wasn’t an obvious high tackle and I could see why AnB would continue tackling him because Hamill wouldn’t let go of the ball.

It’s complete double standards if Burgoyne gets a slap on the wrist and AnB gets 3+ weeks.

I understand its the slinging action they're trying to stop but whats he meant to do? Young Hamill still managed to get a kick away

This is the point. No one wants players seriously hurt   but  .., it’s now becoming so complicated rule wise that any form of tackling is in danger of being ruled out 

How do we want the game to proceed?

I disagree with you. I've seen the same tackle, it was a case of momentum and an attempt at restraint. ANB has no track record for reckless tackles. And. as you point out, how does Burgoyne, a repeat offender, keep getting away with it. Everything about this SUCKS. Burgoyne's tackle on Dangerfield was much bloody worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
