MRP / Trib. Duggan tackle

[Goldfish]

How does this end up a 1-week suspension? The whole thing is in slow motion and Witherden runs into/pushes Adams leading to the tackle ending up on the ground...

 

[Dugg]

Looks like Duggan tries to drop at the knees to prevent a dumping tackle as well. At this rate you're going to be forced to just stand upright while hugging the opponent.

 

[RookiePick]

Because Adams lay on the ground for a bit hoping for a free.

Michael Christian needs to give it up, just an absolute cluster**** this year.

Wish someone would dump tackle his stupid head into a hard road.

 

[FKASC]

Feels like we used to get one suspension a year maybe. The last few years it’s basically one every couple of rounds!

 

[FKASC]

wonder if they’ll change the Brownlow rules eventually, given there are surely more suspensions nowadays than ever before

 

[Doashuey]

Fairly confident we get him off that.
No secondary action or slinging, 3rd player in actually knocked them both to the ground and no ill effects. Adams lay on the ground trying to draw the free, got up and immediately got involved in the next play. I dont believe he left the ground for an HIA either.

This year? Its been a cluster**** every year he has been involved.

This was making me remember the attempted Yeo suspension from 2020?
Where there was grainy distant footage of Yeo's hand making contact with a Pies players face.
He gave an auto week based on that footage. When you slowed the footage down and zoomed in you could see it was an open hand from Yeo in the upper chest area or there abouts. And that ****wit went straight to the week suspension.

So many of our trangressions seem to trigger the automatic week from this guy.

I agree, who could forget the Nic Nat needs to calculate the impact of his tackle before makes it?

However I don't think I've previously seen weeks being handed out for tackles in prior years to the point where there's 1-2 every week now which seem questionable.

You've got people getting 1-2 weeks for tackles yet where there's an opportunity to stamp out an action that shouldn't be in the game Pickett/De Goey AFL will only give 2-3 weeks? Doesn't make any sense.

It’ll help Daicos’ brownlow case massively if the rules stay the same. Doesn’t tackle = doesn’t face any sort of suspension

I hope this is a lesson for Duggan. If you are going to risk a week make sure its worth it.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Challenge and he surely gets off

 

[Bushhopper]

It can't be... It can't beeee.... IT CANT BEEE.... IT CAN'T BEEEEE.... IT CAANNNTTTT BEEEEEEEEE...IT.CANTTT. BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[WCErevival]

Putting your kid to bed would get you a week these days.

 

[Keys]

Well we’re challenging the week at least. Personally I’m not convinced we’ll succeed based on previous decisions but it’s worth making our case

 

[KERRPOW]

Id duggan gets a week for that its another nail in the coffin for AFL.

Channel 7 reporting Don Sheed out too, suspended for a dangerous tackle….

At first I thought they’d just mistaken him for Duggan, but then they also mentioned Duggan.

The match review from Saturdays game only had DeGoey and Duggan

Would be highly unusual for another charge to be raised subsequently

I have a different view, with Cerra & Laird getting off from their tackles last week, Duggan will be successful in his appeal.

At WAFL level we are told two motions is the issue. There is no malice, nor is there two motions in this tackle. Also add Taylor played the game out and as I type this, is not suffering from post-concussion issues (a guess, I have no idea)

I bet Chrisso would have gone back over the tape and tried his dardnest to find something to nail Dom after his comments on 6PR which have infuriated the Victorians.

Reckon it’s just old fashioned Channel 7/Seven West Media ineptitude though and they’ve got Duggan and Sheed mixed up.

Was on the channel 7 news this morning. Hopefully they just stuffed it up…
