Dempsey's dangerous tackle the correct call, says umpires

[Freoforever86]

Was a fantastic tackle.

So sick of the umpires boss coming out saying decisions are right when they're clearly wrong. Hold the umpires accountable for terrible mistakes like we do with the players. They're professionals.

They're professionals.

Much like most of the rest of the AFL, they really arent. They just have a lot of money to spend.

Luke Ball, pls...

Just prior to the tackle, Gaff leaves the ground ..............

Mandatory minimum 2 weeks.

My favourite part is talking about the tackler putting Gaff into a vulnerable position.

It's a ****ing contact sport, the moment you set foot on the ground you're vulnerable you morons.

Interesting comments from Ball in there, had a bit of a dig at KB, also said he's interested in the Umpires job, but have to admit though it looks like a dangerous tackle and with the way the league is going with concussion, but maybe a fine or something though.

The law of physics suggests that whatever comes up must come down.

Gaff did himself no favours when he jumped off the ground

 

[Seadog]

More like the Perth crowd were in their ears when they made the decision.

Don't even remember it happening. Looks like a good tackle,no prior, ball up.

Watch now as players try and jump into opponents as they are about to be tackled

It will become the new ducking
