Will Dangerfield appeal his 2 weeks?

[jesterx]

You think Martin should've got off for striking someone with a forearm to the head behind play?

no he's saying dangerfield should have as well because they were similar incidents.
Both players elbowed someone off the ball. Both made high contact. Dusty hit Kennedys shoulder and it then hit his head. Kennedy remained on his feet. Michael Christian says: “The incident was assessed as intentional conduct with medium impact and high contact.”

Danger elbowed de boer in the midriff. he doubles over. then hits him in the head and de boer goes to ground. Michael Christian says: one count of striking, which was assessed as intentional conduct with low impact to the body. second action the force was insufficient to constitute a charge, hence no further action was taken.

So the takeaway is that you can make high contact as long as you elbow the guy first and your name is Patrick Dangerfield. Also if the guy doubles over from the strike it's medium impact if it's Dustin Martin and low impact if it's Patrick dangerfield.

At the end if the day Dusty's elbow was downgraded to 1 week because of Kennedy's tesimony he felt no pain from the impact. It hinged on the strength of the impact.

There really Is no comparison. Iactualkythiught Dangerfield get off in the initial contact. De Bier was holding him moments before. I thiught hemightbefined fir the second.

In the end it was the reversed but I cant see a suspension in it.

This threads getting better by the minute.

Nut is bashing a nut (and the keyboard) posting every few minutes, then the Hawks come in seemingly upset Richmond are upstaging them in the adversarial stakes.....


Keep it comin' folks....

 

[PowerForGood]

Can't we just correct the thread title please?

It should read "Will Setterfield : Appeal his 2 weeks?"

 

[Tristan34]

So many posters are taking it so personal that Danger wasn't suspended. WTF is the world coming to?

Most of then are Richmond supporters and talk 99% s**t.

What an embarrassing melt thread

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

The AFL is a joke.

Dusty’s 1 action hit Kennedy first on the shoulder and was deemed low impact ...
Dangerfield 2 actions with both having the potential to cause serious injury.
The AFL is a joke.

Good luck to Dangerfield ...
Bad luck to us. The afl is a joke.

Some good points here, I just wish you were a little clearer on what you think the AFL is.

 

[juss]

I'm not fussed really. Happy to see players play, but thought they might go with the potential to cause injury card and give him a week. Happy they didnt, but then they must be consistent for future incidents.

It all comes down to intent vs result. I think Danger should get a week. He threw an elbow back (got fined - fair enough), then threw a blind fist back and was lucky that De Grub was hunched over, otherwise it would have got him squarely in the chops...very similar to the Houli 2017 incident (blind fist thrown back).

There was an incident last year (Rich v Ess) where Devon Smith threw a punch at Macintosh after quarter time (?), narrowly missing his face. Smith got nothing - don't even think he got fined - because the punch didn't connect. If it had, it could have been similar to Gaff's. Again, intent vs result. Michael Christian has commonly ruled that result > intent, however in real life and with some basic logic, it should be the other way around.

I’m sure he’ll be able to get it down to 1 week like Dusty did.

Does Danger jail house salute and have links to the underworld through his dad AND Jake King?

Surely character plays a role. As do silly tattoos

Ablett Snr would be ****ed then wouldn’t he?

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

The cornerstone of Dusty's citing was the potential too injure.
Lasted a week.

 

[Ricketz]

Already, the MRO/media is replacing facts.

I don't mind if Dangerfield plays (it's honestly not going to change the result) - but to say he did NOT make contact with the second swing is patently false.

Lol, righto mate. I guess you had footage noone else did.

Jeeze, a lot of embarrassing comments being made here.

 

[Ricketz]

Both had the potential to cause serious injury ... both didn’t cause serious injury.

Lol, no, both did not have potential to cause serious injury. Only Dusty's actually did.

Michael Christian says: one count of striking, which was assessed as intentional conduct with low impact to the body. second action the force was insufficient to constitute a charge, hence no further action was taken.

So the takeaway is that you can make high contact as long as you elbow the guy first and your name is Patrick Dangerfield. Also if the guy doubles over from the strike it's medium impact if it's Dustin Martin and low impact if it's Patrick dangerfield.

That just makes you and him stupid. The two incidents are nothing alike.

There was no intent, no impact, no risk of serious injury with Danger. Unlike Dusty, Danger didn't snipe an unprotected player from behind deliberately.

 

[caloschwaby]

According to the corrupt-to-the-core AFL, Mason Cox's bump is equivalent to Dusty's running to elbow an unsuspecting bloke to the HEAD, 80 metres AWAY from the ball.
Wouldn't be surprised to see them give slaps on the risk for similar situations in the future. Thanks AFL.

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

Richmond cry babies should be quiet and be happy Dustin got a Brownlow after his punch to the jaw of the poor Brisbane bloke.

 

[Benny78]

Ablett Snr would be ****** then wouldn’t he?

Why? He wasn't the president of of a vicious bikers club who's responsible for other people dying

 

[smasha]

Dangerfield had the potential to put his opponent in hospital.

Am I doing it right Whateley?

 

[Obeanie1]

Dusty’s 1 action hit Kennedy first on the shoulder and was deemed low impact ...
Dangerfield 2 actions with both having the potential to cause serious injury.
The AFL is a joke.

No you are being the joke and a sook.

Low impact to the body is pretty clear.

Nothing like running past someone and elbowing them in the head.....behind play.

Delusional.

 

[Obeanie1]

Lasted a week.

Elbow to the head as he jogged past v elbow to the ribs standing still.

One had more force than the other. One was to the head the other the ribs / stomach area.

Really not hard to understand if you open both eyes.

 

[radiojake]

I think the real litmus test would be to see what the penalty have been should Danger still have been in an Adelaide jumper

Martin ran up to Kennedy to snipe him, he should've stayed at 2 weeks.

Dangerfield should've got 1 if the AFL were actually serious about removing any punches from the game.

Show me where Potential has been used before last week?
If they wanted Potential in its decision making then why wasn't it brought in at the start of the year?
As you said an Elbow to the Ribs has the potential to crack a rib yes?

There's absolutely no relation between the two incidents
