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.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
