Brodie Grundy's tackle- what's the verdict?

[danielnajdek]

Brodie Grundy, Collingwood, has been charged with engaging in rough conduct against Ben Brown, North Melbourne, during the second quarter of the Round 20 match between Collingwood and North Melbourne, played at Etihad Stadium on Saturday August 5, 2017.

In summary, he can accept a two-match sanction with an early plea.

Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from North Melbourne Football Club, the incident was assessed as careless conduct with high impact to the head. The incident was classified as a three-match sanction. The player has no applicable record with impacts the penalty. An early plea enables the player to accept a two-match sanction.

I can't believe that's a 3 weeks incident. Unbelievable. May as well not tackle anymore as there's going to be accidents and you're going to get rubbed out for it. So Danger gets 1 yet Grundy gets 2. AFL is a joke. Be consistent flogs.

Careless contact. WTF did he do wrong? It was a perfect tackle. Appeal this decision.

Ben Brown needs to take some ownership carrying that sideshow Bob melon into each game

 

[Pie eyed]

Club must appeal.

Agree.
Take it to the high court if need be.

Obvious double standards from Gillan the destroyer

 

[danielnajdek]

Also Grundy has a good record yet still gets 3 down to 2. This is dumb.

 

[Eric_Melvin]

Challenge.

Pretty average outcome.

3 to 2 being reported.

Farcical

And the Tackle has Died. Not worth even trying to Tackle.

I would fight that and go to the Tribunal

He's gone unfortunately. I didn't mind the tackle itself but the AFL looks to punish based on the end result rather than the action itself. If Brown had jumped upright after the tackle Grundy might get away with it, but the fact he had no idea what was going on is going to hurt Grundy's chances of getting away with this one.

No mention of either Cunnington or Ziebell

Biased. Collingwood Players can be smashed but can't go the other.

MRP is a Joke

 

[CasuallyDressed]

This makes me sick.

Ziebell slings Treloar. Treloar is ok. Not even looked at.

Brodie Grundy does the same thing. Injured Brown. Two match suspension.

Suspensions based on outcome rather than the act.

Spot In. It what happened after instead of how it Happened

This could cost Grundy the All-Australian Ruck Position

He wont get it anyways. Bet you Ryder or Jacobs get it.

Typical anti Collingwood. I would be more annoyed if our season was alive.

 

[loki04]

I understood he'd get a week but WTF.3 down to 2.

what about the flog cunnignton for knocking goldy out? nothing? they are a joke.

Zeibell intent to dump treloar on his head and gets off because Treloar didn't get stretchered off.
Instead he got up a bit groggy brushing his head then spent a fair bit of time on the pine straight after.

The rules have become a joke.

Realistically it was never going to be 1 week. If it was deemed a reportable offence the fact that Brown missed the entire game meant it had to be high impact - which is 3 down to 2.

If we challenge we have to prove it isn't a reportable offence, which given the current climate on pinning the arms seems difficult to do.

Kreuzer missed the entire game.

 

[nahnah]

I do agree we should challenge as its a bullshit decision and who cares if he misses the final game of this season.

Can challenge on multiple grounds.

 

[TW Sherrin]

may as well challenge. he either gets 1 or gets the rest of the year off.

Won't make Finals. So IF he gets 3 weeks. He can get a Early Start on Getting Ready for the 2018 Season

I though he be in the 40 men Squad. Finished to low to get many AA. Howe is our best Chance for a AA

 

[SuperSub17]

Kreuzer missed the entire game.

And by the current standards, that should've been high impact too. I've never seen concussion graded medium. I'm guessing they thought Dangerfield's tackle was 'worth a week' so they adjusted it accordingly.

In any case there clearly need to be better-defined guidelines on these tackles as it's just pot luck at the moment - no better case than Ziebell on Treloar which wasn't even assessed due there not being an injury.

 

[danielnajdek]

I remember the days where you used to get 3 weeks for elbowing someone now you get 3 for tackling someone.....

 

[Yezeha]

**** this trash ass league.

AFL Dangerfield but Hate Collingwood
