I saw it and immediately thought it’ll be looked at.

Player was ok so was hoping it’ll be a fine. 
It was a dumping tackle. Not heaps in it.

Vision too poor to see if he pins an arm. If he does, we’re probably toast. But if not then this seems over the top.

As always the vision is just excellent 🙄

The vision doesn’t show the full tackle but I’m sure there will be a different angle.  If he hits his head then unfortunately it’s a week

Can’t see him pin an arm, Day gets them both up.

Presumably done for the slinging motion but that’s not what the dangerous tackle suspensions have focused on so far this year IIRC, they’ve all been dump/drives or pinned arms.


I don’t have it in me to go another 5 rounds with the tribunal and appeals board 😂

I call BS (based on this vision). Christiansen unhappy that JVR got off. Sparrow is trying pull him down in the tackle - not sideways. The sling is a result of two players moving in different directions initiated by Day’s rotation trying to break the tackle.

This is the Guidelines on dangerous tackle offences:

This appears like it can only be the last one - slung into the ground with excessive force. 

The AFL is hot on these this year. This one doesn’t leap out at me like others do. I assume he’d fail at the Tribunal but I really, really struggle to accept that this deserves a week whilst Meek was charged with kneeing for the second time and gets a fine, or Caldwell gets a fine for an intentional gut punch to Daicos on ANZAC Day. But here we are.

Can I ask a question? How is sparrow meant to stop rotation when Sparrow’s momentum is already heading to the right? I mean, what’s he meant to do? Arms are free and even if he lets go before he tackles him to ground and day still hits his head, does he still get a week? I’m totally confused.

Agreee but at the time I think no free was paid. Not certain though

Fair dinkum. It’s time for Christian to go, he’s lost all objectivity. Not to mention the plot.

I’m looking forward to the Thursday night appeal here DL


Gonna be difficult to appeal or convict without any footage of the actual tackle, ‘sling’ or ‘dump’…

It did not take long for the tribunal to get even with the MFC. 

 

OK..

How the F does anyone extrapolate in a 3D meaningful way...in advance... NOT BLOODY HINDSIGHT... how any event matures.

People moving ar upteen kph ...in any and varied directions.    But that isn't the focus of any player.  They only concern themselves with the moment, the event, the role, the ball .  Somehow they have to think beyond ????

Its all B.S.

I quite like blancmange. It’s also a ripper word.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
