First it was Roo now Sloaney....
'He ran into a guy with a rock-hard melon': Sloane defends Danger bump
Rory Sloane says Patrick Dangerfield's bump on Jake Kelly is 'just part of footy'www.afl.com.au
Pressed on whether actions like Dangerfield's deserve to be penalised with a suspension, Sloane said: "I think you're making too much of this really.
"That one was just completely unlucky. You could see Danger was hardly going for a bump. In the end it was just a head clash."
Sloane is hopeful Kelly may be able to return in round three after sitting out the mandatory 12 days under the AFL's new concussion protocols.
Tex said no different, players will always publicly back their mates and really every other listed player. They leave the criticism to the rest of the industry.
RESULT
The jury has graded the incident as severe impact.
They came to that judgement considering the level of force and injuries sustained with particular reference to the Adelaide medical report.

3 weeks it is
Both AFL counsel and Siri guy are arguing 3 matches seems right. So looks like 3.
a minute ago
AFL CASE
The AFL has submitted that a three-match penalty is appropriate.
Any lower and it would bring the penalty in line with high impact, rather than severe.

Probably because he keeps headbutting people.

Remember the 'good old days' when a player would get reported and the player he hit would stand up at the tribunal and deny he was ever hit. TV and many other things have changed that..but I must admit I was trying to picture how this would have played out years ago - young Kelly standing in the tribunal with a very black and bruised face and no doubt a hazy memory of the incident telling the panel that he tripped over and danger never hit him to protect dangerfield like they all generally used to.
How times have changed...and for the better

Was Matty Knights and the Libba eye gouging event the first movement away from the old ways? Pretty sure he squealed like the proverbial. Not that his evidence would have made much difference.

I'd say that TV was the big change - games that were not broadcast or very poorly so players could get away with a lot more and the mates protecting mates / players under the old 'code' could be used so to speak. But with every angle now covered players just can't get away with things and no amount of the victim saying he was not hit etc will change it when it is there on film
Before we miss it.

I had a feeling his lawyers would beat it down to one game.
Happy the tribunal effectively threw out his defence of severity by deliberating reasonably quickly and giving him the expected three weeks.

And you just know Dangerfield is more pissed that he can no longer win the Brownlow rather than letting down his team in a flag tilt year. What a shame.

Such a shame danger
There’s a massive void between Paddy and Granger, however Granger never smugly tried to get out of his thuggery like Dangerfield has.

There was a massive void between dave graingers ears..he was a simple bloke that followed mainly 1 word instruction. But yeah he never worried about trying to hide what he did
Apart from throwing Cahill and PAFC in the shit when he spilled the beans on the club telling him to take out Cornes, apparently Granger said that he’d be f%^*ed by the tribunal due to his record but Cahill promised the club would look after him.....according to Granger they didn’t.
To give Danger the benefit, he could have avoided solid contact but the aim would have been to stop Kelly running on and being in a position to receive or create any overlap. As Danger was coming the opposite way he was out of the contest, so he's looking to stop Kelly coming past him. Danger could have just turned his back on Kelly and achieved the same result but chose to hip and shoulder.
I don't agree that there's malice or intent to hurt Kelly, but there was certainly an intent to make contact and stop Kelly. And the consequences were bad.
I think that three weeks is about right.
