3. Rough Conduct (Dangerous Tackles) The application of a tackle may be considered Rough Conduct which is unreasonable in the circumstances. In determining whether the application of a tackle constitutes a Reportable Offence and whether the offence is Careless or Intentional, without limitation, regard may be had to the following factors, whether: » The tackle consists of more than one action, regardless of whether the Player being tackled is in possession of the ball; » The tackle is of an inherently dangerous kind, such as a spear tackle or a tackle where a Player is lifted off the ground; » The Player being tackled is in a vulnerable position (e.g. arm(s) pinned) with little opportunity to protect himself; » An opponent is slung, driven or rotated into the ground with excessive force (for example, a run down tackle where the tackled player is driven into the ground with excessive force). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The way this is written, AJ is automatically in trouble with the 'arm(s) pinned'. He had his left arm pinned the whole tackle and also had a hold of his right wrist for maybe 1/3rd of the tackle until Brown got it loose. It was pretty quick too in real time so not a lot of time for Brown to brace properly. And you could pretty easily argue Brown was 'driven' into the ground when you take into consideration that AJ tackled him either just before or right as Brown was hitting the ground after jumping, which means he's already off balance and will easily go in the direction of the momentum of the tackle, which was down into the ground. If he had tackled him a second later, he might not have gone head first so easily. But dunno, I ask the question: If say, Lauchie Neale or Errol Gulden had done this exact tackle in the Prelims last year... ya reckon either wouldn't have played in the Granny?

Urghhhh, I would find it very funny If Carlton are 0-2, not so funny would be Hawks at 3-0. Lions V Eagles could be a bloodbath. Mcwalter is going to find out how serious many of his senior players are about contributing.

I think the biggest credit to Yze was that Richmond didn't go into their shells when the game was their to lose in the last 5 minutes or so. They kept on the heat and kept playing like they were that got them into the game in the first place. Which is bloody impressive from a mindset point of view considering they had so many players under 50/30 games.

I reckon Cripps should play more ruck.

I could be in the minority here, but Collingwood were gassed for the last 1 & 1/2 quarters. They missed a lot of easy goals too (4.13 at 3/4 time). GWS are in my top 4 and oh boy do they have some good players, but I didn't think they set the world on fire either... I think Collingwood falling to pieces was greater than GWS playing great footy. On the flip side, I don't reckon GWS really got out of 1st gear until later in the game, so that's a worry. Excited to see what we can do!

It's nice to hear that the club *seems* to be handling the apparent cohesion issues between some of the players. I'll be waiting until at least round 5 to see if the 'heaviness' we looked like we were playing with over the last couple of seasons has lifted. This all sounds positive and everything coming out sounds genuine, but it's all here nor there if it doesn't translate to a strong start to the season, as the media will pillory us if we get off to a bad start and we don't seem to be a club that thrives under that kind of pressure. Can we please... PLEEAASEEE... not add to the media fodder and be 4-1 after 5 at least and not do dumb [censored] off field. Go Dees!

He bought it for $4 million according to real estate sites. Really not that crazy an amount for an AFL player that appears in a lot of ads on top of player wage?

No Cam Pederson. Disgusting.

Ok I’m done for the year. See ya’ll in 2025. What a [censored] season.

What did Mills do? I must have completely missed this

Was thinking of this when watching the game. Every team is gonna go after the swans players for being mentally soft now

Yes ok, very good points! So you’re basically saying all the swans personnel weaknesses were thoroughly exposed

I’m trying to think where to start. What do you do if all of your star players [censored] the bed at the same time? Heeney was in the form of his life and really should’ve dominated, but just didn’t impact at all. Without looking at any stats, I can’t name a single swans player that really stood up and executed.

Unironically yes! I reckon the Big O got a lot of new fans today. Best sort of guy to have at a club. Seems legitimately selfless

Did any swans players beat their direct opponent today?

someone already addressed my question.

Brisbane should really cash in and win by 100+

Yeah your right, no Sydney player looks really on

[censored] what a goal. Is it… is it over?

Great to see Big O right in there enthusiastically encouraging his teammates. Lots of respect for that.

Yes, good points. Huh! Imagine kicking basically 7 goals a game for a whole season and losing by six votes in the Brownlow count.

I even look at this and wonder if Jesse Hogan was the Coleman winner, how does he not appear on this board? I know the ball has to get to him and all that jazz… but he can only do the job that his position allows and seemingly was the best at it this year? I dunno, conversely If a back pocket in a dominant team doesn’t lose a single contest all year, he still won’t pole many votes.

Just checked the votes and Bont isn’t in the top 11 players as of now… Didn’t this guy get voted the most valuable player this year by his peers for his efforts?

I was dreading a Syd v Gee granny… legitimately wouldn’t have cared about the result between those two and was questioning if I even really wanted to waste an afternoon watching that game. At least with Brisbane there’s a chance of a team that hasn’t won it for 20 years to win it and be redeemed from last years loss. Sydney as a club just bore me to tears. I don’t hate them, they’re just so, meh

Jeremy Cameron has added exactly 100 points over these 3 games.
