Daicos dangerous tackle on Daniel

[Stax on the mill]

ITT: people with such little knowledge of the game that they think tackling someone to the ground without even pinning their arms is suspension worthy

Agree. Moronic.

attempted the same tackle and got suspended for it. And the sad thing is they cover up their bitterness by pretending to care about concussions and head knocks. It’s not a concussion issue. It’s a Collingwood issue.

Once the AFL allowed Maynard free passage everyone knew the agenda.

Go research the only two players to miss grand finals through suspension since 1999 and tell me what club they played for

As they should have. Can’t king hit or elbow a bloke in the face.
Ridiculous to think they could have played.

 

[westie]

Enjoy watching Nick and Brayden line up next sat

Line-up who?

It wasn't the AFL. It was actually Chief that paid off the tribunal members. Your tears are what powers the Bigfooty servers. Enjoy the GF.

Both totally innocent eh?

 

[sr36]

Just nuts that anyone looking at that thinks that Nick Daicos should have been suspended.

If you're questioning AFL bias based on that then you may have to have a close look at your own bias. Just absolute nonsense to think that was even close to being worthy of a suspension.

No one argues that. The point was that posters with victimhood complexes keep posting "tHe AfL wOuLd NeVeR bAn a CoLlInGwOoD pLaYeR iN fInAlS" when we are the only club to have had players suspended for a GF this millennium, not once but twice. So it's a bit of the ole facts > feelings:

Pretty sure the argument is around the grey area where the AFL loves to manipulate to manufacture what they want.

If you elbow a guy in the head and drop them any time of year youre getting weeks.

That was a special effort by the AFL to forget to mention his charge during the Tribunal opening the door to an appeal.

We all know they would have done similar for Daicos given they didnt bother appealing against the Maynard finding.

There was nothing to appeal about the Maynard finding. An appeal isn't a re-trial - there's got to be a problem with the interpretation of the rules. Read the ruling - pretty hard to see any possibility that an appeal would have had any chance at all.

The AFL for 2 years have had specific rules on jumping and causing damage making you at fault.

The idea they had no room to challenge is ridiculous. It also would have been with legal minds not former players.

THey actually haven't. Jumping, feet leaving the ground etc are not in the Tribunal guidelines at all. In the specific case of a bump commentators discuss it in terms of making the players action more dangerous and violent, but it's irrelevant in terms of the guidelines - whether or not contact was high and the damage it caused is what gets the penalty for a bump - hence Pickett's two nuts launches at players not being treated more harshly than any other bump to the head.

Would be pretty unlucky for anyone to be suspended in finals now. The narrative is it would be unfair for them to miss such important games.

No it's s "why are the mro results completely randomised for similar incidents" issue

 

[citizen-erased]

preciousness around collingwood and daicos aside, it was inevitable there would be one in a prelim that would have a different standard applied.

kleenex shareholders will be disappointed though.
would have cleaned up this week

Have you actually seen it? Post one similar where a bloke has been suspended this year. Just ridiculous that it's even being discussed as an issue.
