Like you'd know what he was thinking. LOL

While I agree there is a bit of wiggle room, and think there should be more, the fact is he bumped, didn't have to and knocked Kelly out...he can't not go for that. The only real discussion is over how long.
Personally, I think the way they handle impact is just wrong, and Dangerfield will go for longer than he really should in this case, but thinking that it should be different doesn't change the fact that he bumped (careless), the head was impacted (high contact) and Kelly was concussed resulting in him being out of the remainder of the game, and next week too (presumably high impact), which means 3 down to 2 under the current system.
Geelong coach Chris Scott says Patrick Dangerfield did everything he could to protect Jake Kelly in the bump that knocked out the Adelaide defender and forced him to be stretchered off the Adelaide Oval.
But Dangerfield appears likely to cop a lengthy suspension following the incident in Saturday’s upset Cats loss, based on precedent and the Match Review rules.
The Herald Sun’s Jon Ralph confirmed on Sunday that Kelly had sustained a broken nose.
“Confirms the likely severe grading, off to the tribunal,” he tweeted.

Imagine if he gets off and were to do it again next round or even a week or two later. I could not even begin to imagine the media and public firestorm if that were to occur. Will get suspended for that if nothing else.

Remember a couple of years back when Hawkins kept trying to be a big man with jumper punching opponents.., copped fines, ignored them and kept doing it.
Eventually the MRP just couldn't let it go any more and suspended him anyway, even though it didn't really qualify for a week under the rules.
going straight to the tribunal

What you mean like GAJ three weeks running?
If GAJ had three players stretchered off three weeks in a row then yes, if not then no, this would be pretty unique.
Bad time to knock a player out without the ball given all the current media attention.
Danger will go despite AFL not wanting him to, otherwise this footage will be labelled ‘exhibit a’ in the players with brain damage v AFL court case.
Also whether there is malice or not, that’s two games in a row Danger has knocked a player out. It might be unintentional, but he needs to change his technique as he is a danger to every other player on the field. If you can’t bump without knocking people out, stop going the bump.

Agree, Jake Kelly will get 3 or 4 weeks for hitting Dangers head.
What’s with your repeated hate for Dangerfield? Aren’t you capable of looking at it objectively?
Have an opinion by all means but trying to suggest he’s a dirty footballer is ludicrous. As is the assertion that he’ll get looked after ‘coz he’s Dangerfield.’ Didn’t work in a Brownlow year. Why would it work now?
He’s a ball player. Always has been. Cue “Oh but the GF incident?!” Spare me. Was never getting weeks for that.
This incident is hardly a hanging offence either but you wouldn’t know it with the whinging taking place. Yes, he’ll go (high contact, high impact) but it’s hardly a Rodney Grinter on Terry Wallace type incident. People suggesting intent are desperately clinging to the notion that he’s some sort of monster.
Imagine for a moment some sort of reasoned debate as to the incident without the hoopla ‘coz he’s Dangerfield?’
Tall poppy syndrome is alive and well.
Rubbish. His technique in the GF was fine. His focus was the ball and there was a collision. Vlaustin was open and bore the brunt of the collision. Play on.
He’ll go for yesterday. It was careless and high impact. I don’t think he’s someone though who has a ‘history’ of this type of action. He’ll learn from yesterday but as I’ve said, it’s hardly a hanging offence.

Game taken over by lawyers now. Worried about lawsuits down the track.
Shouldn't go for that bump, but will.

The thing about the 'accidental head clash' line is that the head clash is really an entirely foreseeable consequence of the choice to bump. Just because something is an accident, that doesn't mean no one is at fault. That it's accidental is why it is graded 'careless' rather than 'intentional'.
Well said. Put these muppets in their place!
Under the rules we know it’ll start at 3 and we will argue for 2.
Nothing much else to say but the overreactions and hate are ridiculous.

3 weeks for a late bump that sent a guy off on a stretcher. Seems about right
That’s a perfect bump. All to the body.
if we want to Suspend it fine. But let’s just ban the bump. Penalties have to be for the action. Not the outcome.
So the 30 mins of the media during the game telling everyone he should get done was somehow interpreted by you as the media are trying to get him off?
the only reason Dustin Martin has a Brownlow is because Dangerfield got a ridiculous suspension for a tackle. The nerve to say the media looks after him is ridiculous. The media once injury trolled him cos he showed discomfort with a knee injury Ffs.
