Genuinely shocked that he got the three weeks.  
Personally, I think three weeks is a bit much, but I also believe that it would be given to any other player in the league if they did the same thing.

Shocked the ‘good bloke’ loophole didn’t work this time.

    Justice done. It was the only possible outcome based on the facts. Severe impact = 3 games.

    Three weeks is his right whack, I reckon. 

    I wonder if this forum would have been paying such close attention to this matter if we weren't playing Geelong in three weeks time!

    Actually quite surprised the tribunal came down with 3 weeks. I think it’s right because he chose to bump, he didn’t have to engage in that contact so the moment the player came away with a concussion and broken nose he should’ve always been in trouble. But to see them actually do it to a star player is refreshing. 

    Makes Geelong’s start to the year a lot tougher, love it!

    Fair decision. He sprinted/charged at Kelly with a view to taking him out.

    For once tribunal has it right.

    He had no option to tackle - the ball was gone. And no option to smother - the video shrinks distance down, he wasn't realistically going to smother a handball. 

    Nor did he have 10 steps to decide what to do. He's corralling and protecting the corridor, likely thinking a tackle is the option until Kelly goes to handball, in which case at the last minute he bumps to stop Kelly's run.

    It's a late bump that's unfortunate and shouldn't have been so forceful. If you're going to check a guys run you can do that just by blocking the space in front of them. 

    He bumped and it went wrong, that's about all that the video shows. There doesn't need to be extra sinister motivations added to it.

    If he had no option to tackle or smother then he was late and shouldn't have even laid a bump. He could have avoided contact altogether unlike the Viney/Lynch incident several years ago

    Sloane, another Dangerfield great mate but also Kelly's captain is saying Kelly "... ran into a guy with a rock-hard melon. I've ran into that bloke, Danger, a couple of times and you certainly do come off second best normally."

    I wouldn't be too happy if my captain said it was my fault after the injuries I sustained.  It is salt into the wound after Ricutto yesterday said it was 'bad luck'.

    Isn't Kelly's father Craig Kelly, a senior AFL Player Manager.  I wounder if we will hear from him. 

    tbh I find it quite unsavoury that Ricutto and Sloane are batting for a mate rather than one of their own kids.  imv if they can't support Kelly they should  keep quiet and stay out of it.

    Interesting that Adelaide didn't have the same forgiving nature when Trengove got done for tackling Dangerfield or ANB last year. They were quick to whip out the medical reports on those occasions.

    If this was Kozzi or Clarry getting three I’d be ropable but it’s not so I can live with it ?

    Tough [censored] Danger. Catch ya in Round 20 or whenever we play Geelong next. Unlikely, but fingers crossed dads army has bombed out of finals contention by then.

    Well I'm with Danger's lawyer, the Oxford and Macquarie dictionaries and Siri on agreeing this wasn't the definition of severe. I would've graded it as high. But the AFL are scared stiff on concussions right now so severe it is. Actually credit to Danger and his lawyer that they gave up the silly self defence angle.

    they've set the precedent with anb and one other player - concussion = severe

    The concussion elephant has grown too big in the room and leaves no room for star players to wriggle their way out anymore.

    Should have got 5 weeks. The view from the other video shown longtitudinally displays a more pronounced picture! and it is more damning. I reckon Geelong and player might think they got of lightly!

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
