Im not.

You know why?

Because it was a perfect ******* tackle. Straight out of the textbook.

Wasn’t even a free kick.

It is outrageous that it was given 2 weeks. The club simply has to fight it.

I only say that because of the outcome - I too believe it was a great tackle, just unfortunate the result.

 

[tencentpiece]

Pretty amazing you can get suspended for two weeks for a one motion tackle, but you're allowed to elbow a guy in the head off the ball and get a fine.

 

[Stamos]

Setterfield was always going to get rubbed out.

who tackles another person with one motion and because he tackled both arms at once

Only 1 arm, the left arm was free.

 

[jezzajay]

This wasn't a sling tackle though

Where was the sling?

 

[Red Bull]

???
Where was the sling?

Turn it up mate, he slung and smashed the blokes head into the ground.

 

[Stamos]

Turn it up mate, he slung and smashed the blokes head into the ground.

I really think you need to watch it again. There was not a slinging motion.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Turn it up mate, he slung and smashed the blokes head into the ground.

For me, sling implies motion of greater than 90 degrees. This was less than 90 degrees of movement relative to the turf; from slightly below vertical to horizontal.

Not a sling.

 

[manang magoos]

Seriously the AFL is pathetic. Dangerfield hit a player in the stomach and swung for the head. A fine.

A tackle with one arm pinned two weeks.

Great message to send the kids.

Can’t suspend the AFLPA leader striking is not taken seriously enough in the game Gill the dill prefers to see
perfect tackles penalised instead AFL corruption at it’s upmost

 

[jezzajay]

Turn it up mate, he slung and smashed the blokes head into the ground.

Looks like you're the one turning it up here.

 

[Red Bull]

I really think you need to watch it again. There was not a slinging motion.

I’m not going to argue with you Stamos.
FWIW i think you are one of the better posters on this board but i think this is a very serious issue the game has to address.

 

[blueboy25]

Refuse to get too emotional about this one. Spent all my tickets yesterday.

Good test case. The outcome was awful but it didn’t get anywhere near the ferocity and double action of Gibbs on Gray.

He was always going to get a week at least unfortunately. Would love the club to come out and say that we don't agree with the severity of the suspension but we will cop it and hope the MRO is consistent with this going forward.

 

[manang magoos]

No place in the game at all for sling tackles.
Sooner or later there will be a serious injury or worse arise and everyone will be on their high horse about it.
I’d be notifying clubs that the sling tackle is a 10 week minimum suspension.
Leave the club coloured glasses at the door , the sling tackle is extremely dangerous and has to be eradicated from the game.

This wasn't a sling tackle though

Sorry mate with the others on this that was no sling tackle there was probably worse then that over the weekend
and what happened to the late bump by Witts

 

[manang magoos]

Turn it up mate, he slung and smashed the blokes head into the ground.

Sorry Red Bull you must have being watching a different game to me

 

[Foucault1989]

Not a sling tackle. All one motion, one arm free, momentum taking them in that direction. This is ridiculous!

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

Setters copped the suspension because of the outcome, not the action.

If the guy hadn't hit his head and was concussed there would have been no case to answer, for the same action.

Having said that, I'd have to look at it again. It wasn't a sling tackle in any way, shape or form, but if Setters drove his head into the turf, then he deserves a sanction. At the time though, I didn't see it that way...but by memory, they only showed it from one angle.

10 weeks? Can I have some of what you’ve been smoking....

 

[Red Bull]

Sorry Red Bull you must have being watching a different game to me

Nah , just watching without the club coloured glasses on.
It’ll be interesting to note the outcry here should a CFC player ever be seriously injured by this type of thing.
I’ll leave you all to it ...

 

[Blue Pulse]

Agree, there weren't 2 actions from I saw, it was not intentional as per Martin last week and Dangerfield. Absolute joke.

"I'll take care of you Patrick"

Agree, but it wasn't a sling tackle.

 

[Gavstar]

The outcome was always going to lead to a suspension. My initial impression was Setters drove him harder into turf than necessary. Like a sling, driving action is not tolerated. I had hoped the arm free would have meant only a week

 

[ODNBlue]

I suspect we may appeal this.

 

[drunkill]

Appeal down to 1 is likely. A high impact outcome, but it wasn't intentional and only one arm was pinned. Powell could have dropped the ball to brace himself.

At least Setterfield was going for the ball, unlike Dangerfield this week.

 

[Robert Heatley]

So the key to not get suspended is to change your name to Dangerfield.

Playing on the wrong “field”. Uneven playing “field”.

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

If that was the case, then he should be sanctioned. I didn't see it that way, but that's not to say that's what it was.

Having an arm free though suggests he could have braced for the impact rather than hang onto the ball.

2 weeks seems very harsh though, we should definitely appeal that.

Danger sanction a joke though, as was Dusty last week...both behind play and involved fists and elbows. Even Mac Sport suggest he was extremely lucky, and that his name likely assisted in the decision.

 

[Soapy V]

Got suspended for being too strong. Perfect tackle. Wrong decision
