Tackle isn’t dead: AFL sends fresh memo as Butler hopes grow

The AFL has sent a memo to all clubs outlining ‘safe tackling techniques’ as the dangerous tackle debate raged again on Thursday night. Will Saint Dan Butler be banned?

Think it said all players should carry a pillow and place said pillow on ground before tackling player.

[YearOfTheDees 3,266]

On reflection Dan Butler should be fine, I doubt Dan Christians even knows there was a game on a Thursday night.

Port are still flying under the radar a bit. if they win tonight they will have 10 wins on the trot. 

Im tipping the dogs based on the dogs are due a good performance and port are due a loss. really intellectual stuff

I think it's better for PA to win rather than Dogs.

Realistically Port are certain to finish top 4, so it's better that other teams vying for fourth sport lose.

Port are overrated. Besides rd 1 when they jumped the Lions still haven’t put anyone away. 
 

Rd 1 smashed lions, lions clearly off their game
Rd 2 they got smashed by the pies
Rd 3 5 goal loss to the crows
Rd 4 2 points over the swans
Rd 5 14 over dogs, some bad umpiring in that game, sounds funny saying that against the dogs
Rd 6 pump eagles big deal
Rd 7 beat saints by 7
Rd 8 beat bombers by 5 
Rd 9 pump north big deal
Rd 10 beat Dees by 4, Dees were totally outplayed. No denying it, play 1 good qtr and nearly beat them.
Rd 11 beat tigers by 10 after Dimma stood down
Rd 12 pump hawks big deal

Carn the Dogs.

Dan Butler has been offered one week by the MRP.

Have they got it badly wrong or is this proof that the Butler did in fact do it?

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,396]

Garbage decision, between the umpiring, the tribunal and the push for 19/20 teams the AFL is alienating fans at a rapid pace.

The AFL is a garbage pile of steaming [censored]. 
Only Melbourne is keeping me from just throwing away all interest in the game.

Ok so Butler concussed Blakey who not only missed a critical part of last night but misses a game next week as well. 1.5 games in total. Medium impact.

Hunter makes contact with Rozee, who gets up like a Jack rabbit, kicks the winning goal and then goes on to have 27 touches the following week against Richmond. Medium impact.

Exhibit A - victim is concussed. Misses remainder of game and a season “in balance” game next week against Brisbane. Medium impact.

Exhibit B - Victim is the second most influential player on the ground after the incident and then goes on to have another near BOG performance the following week. Medium impact.

How’s that for consistency from the MRP.

fast start to this game

[layzie 33,814]

They're going pretty fast 

[The heart beats true 18,128]

Is Cody Weightman ok? By the looks of that footage he just got shot in the goal square.

[Wodjathefirst 2,632]

Not sure who milks free kicks better, Weightman or Ginnivan 

[layzie 33,814]

Can anyone drive Weightman to the hospital?

[DubDee 25,886]

looks a poor crowd for a big friday game. 30k?

Mr Floppy.

I hate the way the commentators don't call out the fact that the decision was disgraceful.

[ANG13 2,063]

Weightman is a very good player but it’s hard to like him with his flopping. 

[640MD 3,377]

I hope mondays umpires are watching that free in the ruck. Knees into the guts !!

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Lol what a comical 60 seconds that was

[DubDee 25,886]

Dogs defence is a joke
