MRP / Trib. Dangerfield cleared of 'kneeing' Geary

[catempire]

I don't know, I haven't seen the incident. But saw this in the match report:

While Scott wouldn't comment on an incident involving Patrick Dangerfield in the third term when the star Cat kneed Jarryn Geary in the head

Anyone see it? Any concerns?

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

If he's cited for that I'm officially giving up on football.

Saw it.

Innocuous and unintentional. Will be looked at and thrown out.

Will come down to interpretation.

You could argue his knee moved forward out of necessity to get up.
You could argue he meant it.

But from memory only, his eyes were off the player when contact was made. So I'd go option A.

Ditto. Media will milk it to the max. but I'd be amazed if the MRP did anything more than look and ignore.

 

[FredLeDeux]

He's favourite for the Brownlow, no case to answer.

 

[Hugh Jars]

He was trying to get up. No case to answer.

 

[Turbocat]

If a player on the ground wants to hold a leg , then for mine he best expect some effort from the other player. The grounded player caused it but as usual it will come down to the look and the AFL mindset.

It was totally undisciplined from Dangerfield. How dare him he try to get up and continue playing football while a Saints' player was on the floor holding his leg. He should have stayed there until the opposition was ready to release him. 4 weeks down to 3 with an early plea.

SFA in it.Just the Seven commentators dib-dib-dobbing.
On friday that red headed clown tried to get a Collingwood player cited for hitting that little shit Ballantwerp.They showed a replay,Ballantwerp ran into the back of a Pies player [Big Cox from memory].

F*** you Seven commentators.

Will that outweigh the MRP loading on the fact he wears blue and white hoops nowadays?

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

The fact that there's a need for this thread is embarrassing for not only the channel 7 commentary team but the AFL as a sport.

 

[Burro]

Why did Danger not get a free for being legged? Love to see this one go all the way to the Supreme Court......

Tall poppy syndrome

 

[Iago]

Fyfe got away with quite a few things last year.

I can't see Paddy having any trouble either.

Tall poppy syndrome

Not only that, Sam Mitchell deliberately knees blokes with the sole intent to injure and nobody bats an eyelid.

The fact that BT is still permitted to commentate is an indictment on that group as a whole.

 

[Hoooops]

Geary might get suspended for staging, lol.

Seriously can't believe this is even a topic of conversation.

Commentators just trying to whip up some frenzied controversy.

What the hell could he do when he's trying to get up and walk away while a Saints player is trying to hump his leg??

To be fair on that Saints player, I'd have tried to hump his leg myself in that situation.

 

[Burro]

Danger had guys holding on to him all night. It really is hard to play footy when the other side is allowed to have a different set of rules. Reminded me of 2008. The loses to pies and blues where the same. This is the way to beat Geelong...it is just against the rules.....

He was brain-dead in his playing days and now floats around the commentary box like a black hole in the world of intelligent conversation. Does nothing but create a vacuum.

 

[Burro]

Don't forget that we play Sydney next and the AFL will try to help them.....

You wouldn't have let go so easily?
