Turns out the Dangerfield decision isn't the most contentious of the night.

Bowers from Freo just got off a horrendous tackle on Eden Zanker. Open season on the Demons??

    Only just had a look at that one...horrendous is right.

    Lucky not to do serious damage. Should have got multiple weeks for that one.

    That’s crap. Really dangerous tackle, could've done some serious damage. They need to make a decision on action vs outcome, she could have been paralysed. 
    But Bowers is favourite for the league B&F, bit like the Fyfe one 6(?) years ago when he was favourite, so go figure.

    Bowers is the new Danger.

    She’s favourite for the AFLW best and fairest = protected species.

    Might be the worst tackle I've ever seen really. The initial tug of the back of the jumper is what they call a horse collar in the NFL. It takes your legs out from under you. Then she finishes it off by flipping her on her neck.

    And did Zanker get hurt. No. There is the reason. They go on outcomes.

    It might be the reason but it was only luck that saved Zanker.

    In this case the action should have been taken into account.

    You can't have tackles like that in the game.

    Personally I would have told her not to bother coming back this season.

    Set the standard now before it's too late.

    She got up holding her neck/shoulder and the medical report confirms ongoing physio. So, it some ways yes but the tribunal deemed that low impact.

    We all know it's outcome based but when that occurs it means the system is broken. The potential for serious injury here has been completely ignored even though it was considered for Zac Williams in the preseason. And Zac Williams bump was far less likely to actually cause a serious injury.

    That's the problem rjay. Both Men's and Women's tribunals go on outcomes. I agree it should be the action but we are peeing upwind here.

    It iritates me listening to Chris Scott trying to jawbone the tribunal... Dangerfield "did everything he could to protect Kelly"

    Complete rubbish! He didn't slow at all dropped the shoulder angling his body towards Kelly and bumped him late - and was clear the hit would be late so could have slowed or pulled out

    Exactly

    Fair result. There’s a chance Kelly will miss 2 games given they’ve got a 13 day window for rounds 2-3. Wouldn’t be fair in my view that the perpetrator sits out the same length of time.

    It’s not, if it was Vanders doing the bumping it would be 4-6 weeks. 

    The histrionics put out this week by Dangerdiver and his crew has been disconcerting.

    I hate Dangerfield. Did he wear his stupid white suit, sans socks, to the Tribunal hearing?

    No, but he did go surfing afterwards

    The AFLW Tribunal has shown it is a pushover on appeal for favoured players.   In the first round Ebony Marinoff, the Crows gun midfielder (and touted for the AFLW best player award) had her 3 game suspension overturned - no case to answer.

    The Tribunal must apply the 'potential to do damage' rule.  No way Bowers should get off.  AFL must appeal as they did in the Houli case. 

    If it was a lesser name player they would have tougher treatment than Marinoff and Bowers.

    The guy had gotten rid of the ball and was looking downfield.

    Danger came in from the side. He could have grabbed him, pushed him or done nothing as he didn't have the ball and wasn't expecting blind side contact.

    Danger chose to bump. The one thing he shouldn't have done.

    He broke the guys nose and knocked him out.

    Graded as severe, as that is the only one available with those injuries.

    Yes, the head bump was probably accidental, however that is exactly what they are trying to stop.

    Danger knows that better than any other player,  as President of the Player's association.

    They have been told countless times, bump and you are responsible for any head knock, deliberate or accidental.

    No excuse whatsoever under the rules.

    All hell will break out if he doesn't get the right whack, minimum 3 weeks.

    ANB got 4 weeks in a 17 game season for swinging a player to the ground with one arm held. That player got concussed mildly.

    This is a far worse injury, from an act that the AFL is telling players to avoid if possible.

    Watch 60 minutes last sunday on CTE deaths and suicides.

     

    ANB (and MFC) got well and truly done over on that one especially  by comparison with last night’s decision

    This must be photoshopped.

    I live down the coast and have seen him surfing a lot.

    He's very, very average. Hates large waves too.

    what a figjam ?

    Destined to follow in the footsteps of the other FIGJAM - has a Brownlow, changed clubs for a much coveted Premiership medal but will retire without one.  Icing on the cake would be if Adelaide win a flag before he retires.   Unlikely but would like to see it.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance.

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
