I get that, but I still don't get why everyone is getting worked up over this incident, when the Mumford and Ablett scenario was exactly the same last year, and got barely any attention.
Melbourne to continue appeal against Jack Trengove suspension

Intent is the point if posters here are going to claim trengove wanted to injure dangerfield. it's a horrible thing to claim
Re: Save our game!
he was always going to be rubbed out, dees were stupid for challenging, if the dees assessed two lance franklin suspensions where the hawks had a case to appeal, then the dees would have accepted the penalty, the media would run with the story anyhow

Re: Save our game!
I wish this had of happened to hawthorn or Collingwood. Jeff or Eddie seem to be the most outspoken Presidents, not afraid to go on a rant.
They would also be more likely to take this s**t to court or assemble the other clubs to vote out this admin

Re: Save our game!
lol
Clubs could have easily vetoed this rule if they felt that strongly. AFL doesn't want to get sued for not providing a safe work environment, how many past players are already lining up to claim comepensation for repetitive concussion. Eddie will be huff and bluff but he knows the rule was changed for protecting the game from law suits more than any other reason.

Won't be long before you won't be able to take marks as well.
Cause Ablett had released the ball well before, and then Mumford swung him with force to the ground.
Trengove was in the act of swinging and Dangerfield still had the ball. He then got a fresh airy and didn't brace for the ground, and as usual he gets concussed.

And? Players ge slung all the time. Trengove laid the exact same tackle 30 seconds after dangerfield. But no one seems to care about that because no one got hurt
The mrp places far too much emphasis on the result of an incident and not the intent

Sheeeze, just get over it. All clubs have had terrible decisions go against them. Martins love tap could have cost him a Rising Star, Rance accidental head clash cost 3 weeks. Is Trengove above everyone else? The decision was made, move on.
Re: Save our game!
Eddie is more piss and wind. I would love to see Jeff get genuinely wound up!
He would have already filed for a court hearing.

No point continuing to bitch and moan about it. We have to move on now. Things will get even more absurd though if the Demons players get fined for their Twitter statements.

Move on, nothing to see here - but they've set the precedent, interesting to see if they back it up.
LOL. The *whole point* of the (heh) points system, is to NOT take precedent into acount.
Not exactly a surprising decision here. Still beyond farcical, but not unexpected.

Actually, it was a very similar tackle as pointed out on AFL 360. The differences from watching it again were:
1. Mumford didn't have hold of Ablett's arm(s)
2. The force of the tackle was less severe
3. Ablett wasn't concussed and ended up BOG with 3 Brownlow votes
When you take that into account, the Mumford decision was worse. It's a shame the people that are outraged now didn't give a **** back then.

Yeah - it works a treat. Grinds my gears that they suspend based on the consequence as opposed to the act and the dude is ok. Awesome.
But just like that sitcom from the nineties with the little downie dude - life for the AFL goes on, and is a little bit *ed.
