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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
