MRP / Trib. PFD tackle on Kruzer - MRP grades it as 1 week suspension

[Baudolino]

But there's plenty he could of done different. Plenty. The ball was well gone.

He had absolutely no idea the ball was gone.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Now I've seen the replay again Paddy puts his arms up for HTB so he must have thought he still had the ball. Don't know if that helps him or not.

 

[Spazz Cat]

He had absolutely no idea the ball was gone.

Does that matter though if the player is concussed

 

[Turkey Tom]

Going to be a interesting one.

- Clearly Dangerfield thought Kreuzer still had the ball as he was appealing for HTB after he tackled him.
- BUT Kreuzer didn't have the ball so the nebulous 'duty of care' is going to be raised.
- BUT there was certainly no 'two' actions that a sling tackle is defined as.
- The tackle pinned Kreuzer's arms and thus he couldn't protect himself which was the main cause of any injury.
- Kreuzer was clearly dazed. Carlton medical report will be interesting.

At a guess he will get a fine....but who knows really until the MRP get the Ouija board out.

 

[Baudolino]

I only give a shit about this from the perspective of how this effect's next week's game. Dusty's well clear of Danger in the Brownlow IMO, the "neck and neck race" narrative is just hype and myth.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

I'm shocked to be sitting here.

It matters in the context of how relevant it is that the ball was gone.

Hope its not gone CH7 going hard on showing 123214689 times.

MRP have a history on being soft on brownlow chances so he has a chance of getting off.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Should be fine because he's the favourite for the Brownlow.
If it was someone else they would get a week.

Must say Sam Mclure is a little smug arrogant flog.

 

[dazbroncos]

Imagine Ch7 with an agenda....

Well I never...

Go Catters

 

[Turbocat]

Cotchin been let off hitting someone at least twice this year... , Dusty eye gouges a guy and gets a fine ... and they suspend Danger for a tackle ? Yep bring it on ..the whole system need dose of prunes.

 

[frggr]

Channel 7 is working hard to make it an issue.

I think if he gets anything the club would appeal and win.

Club never appeals though [emoji6]

but they'll set a precedent this week on blind sided inadvertent tackles with concussive results that have no 2 motions or spearing of the tacklee.

Just watch.

[Grimoz]

Carlton have confirmed he sat out the rest of the game with concussion, sorry Danger but your gone for a week, they wont let him off when it resulted in concussion, would be a bad look.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Scott talking about it now.
Flog CH7 stevens talking hard about it.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Good to see CS sticking up for him against Stevo.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Also maybe Cocky hammy might not be that bad. Saying he knows to come off the ground rather than take any risks with it.

 

[Rogue Robot]

I reckon they'll give 2 down to 1, then the afl appeal and give life in prison without parole

 

[dazbroncos]

CS just put Steveo the flog back over his head for 6.

Categorically and clinically, per the AFL reasoning, CS answered the case - and that there is none.

[caitsith01]

except danger held on to him far longer after the ball had gone. Cocky was also quite lucky that time.

Watch the replay, he wouldn't have seen that the ball was gone.

You've got me worried now, given PA supporters' knowledge about the criminal justice system.

Le Grille thoughts

 

[InnocentBystandr]

If an illegal tackle behind play resulting in a broken leg doesn't get cited by the MRP.......

[BigCat1]

If c7 execs are watching I'd be pouring cold water on it.

Brownlow medal night will be some fizzer if he's ineligible. How do u suppose Brucey builds up that tension from rd 6 on wards. when the winners know Gil reads the last rd votes at warp speed. He'll be in overdrive from rd 12!!!!
