Dangerfield hit on Vlastuin

[marcus1232]

Look he will get off because its the way it will be perceived and the need to protect his image.

The act if you watch it is 2 motions he connects with the ball then raises his elbow/forearm if this was Lynch that did this ( and I think he is a sniper ) there would be 1000s if people here looking for blood.

what a goose
six weeks

 

[Wojcinski]

Its amazing people still going on about cotchin in 2017, but saying danger was just going for the ball

lol Danger actually made contact with the ball, what more evidence do you need?

And in 17 cotchin took possession of the ball. Both deserved to get off and both will. No way is danger suspended.

 

[JackFlash]

Eyes on the ball, an unavoidable footballing accident. If he goes for that then ban all contact....

 

[BF Tiger]

He won’t go. Missing games makes it extremely hard for AA selectors to gift him a spot in the team.

Cotch had the ball in his hand, hilarious that people defend one and still go on about the other

I'm not going on about the other, infact I can't even remember it but to say Danger was doing anything other than going for the ball is wrong

 

[Ron The Bear]

Looked two actions to me - punched the ball -> left the forearm aloft -> deployed it in a striking motion.

Bit hard to take anything the AFL says about protecting the head seriously if he is let off.

In saying that, he either gets four weeks or nothing. There can't be any in-between.

You have to watch it in full speed, there was zero remonstration from Tigers players on the field because it was just an accident and they all knew it.

It's... unusual. We won the game and Vlastuin recovered in time to enjoy it so I'm not going to get shitty if he's let off, but IMO it opens the door to certain "techniques".

 

[Young Gun #6]

Wasn’t even a free kick let alone suspension worthy.

Unfortunate for the Vlaustin but if that’s a suspension may as well make punching the ball illegal going forward.

 

[Cyclonus]

I don't like Danger. There was nothing in it.

 

[HTT]

I'm still stunned that Vlaustin didn't at least get the free kick for high contact!!

Interesting hypothetical. Ablett doesn’t do his shoulder if that kick is paid.

 

[SunshineBoy]

MRO , official Paddy all clear, time to close the thread,should anyone be surprised?

And the cats do have a form line for certain techniques

from the first quarter of Saturday's game between Richmond and the Geelong Cats was assessed. The ball is loose. Vlastuin and Dangerfield approach the ball from opposing directions. Dangerfield punches the ball and in the process makes high contact to Vlastuin. It was the view of the MRO that Dangerfield's actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken.

 

[Grockadoc]

Imagine the uproar if it was Lynch who took out Ablett. Everyone would be calling for the death penalty.

 

[Aeglos]

From the time he punched the ball to colliding with Vlastuin was something like 1/8th of a second.
Only Barry Allen could have avoided what happened.

 

[HairyO]

Unfortunate for the Vlaustin but if that’s a suspension may as well make punching the ball illegal going forward.

Of course its a free kick. He collected him in the head.

But it shouldnt be a report.

 

[Barnzy]

Why did he extend the elbow into Vlastuin after punching the ball? There was no need to make that action unless it was malicious intent.

The excuse for him seems to be no time to react...but he did react by changing from a punch action to pulling the elbow in with 2 actions. If a Richmond player did that there would be 20 threads on here.

Oh well, Vlastuin is luckily okay and dangerflog gets no flag. That's going to burn deeper in him as likely his last chance over a suspension. Happy days.

so he'll probably get off.

Who?

 

[Phone]

i refuse to believe anyone seriously thinks this was a reportable (therefore suspendable) offense

 

[ferball]

It's two clear actions. Lol.

Dangerfield punches the ball and in the process makes high contact to Vlastuin.

I call bullshit on that.

If it was Jack Ziebell

or Lindsay Thomas instead of Danger there would be worldwide calls to deregister them from the game.

Free kick at least
