I hope the Eagle's appeal the decision against Harley. Seems a travesty that a player gets ruled ineligible for a major award for such a minor offense.

Cost Dusty a chance to win the RS in 2010 also.
 
"High impact"

Tackled player plays out the game with no issues.

High impact is what Dangerfield did to Vlaustin's face in the 2020 grand final and didn't even get reported for.
Oh ffs. What happened in 2020 has nothing to do with rulings in 2024. If that’s the basis of your defence then you have no defence.

According to the precedent set and followed this season he was always going to get suspended.

I never said it wasn't worth of a report/suspension, I said it wasn't high impact.
 
Got pinged even when he was tackled high. What game were you watching
I'll give you that one, but he "should" have been pinged a few times for htb and twice for dissent. The 50 was there, the ball had been kicked and it was late, even though the bump was soft.

2 weeks is harsh, would be comfortable with 1, but Higgins got 3 weeks for a lesser action, we all know the MRO is a lottery unfortunately

the Kid will be a gun, had a great 1st half, got frustrated in the second
 
Wilson or Dempsey now you'd think, Wardlaw could make a late charge too.

Sucks for the winner though, as we all know there's going to be an asterisk.

Whoever wins it will have won it fair and square. Reid and Darcy will have to live with the consequences of their actions.

Weren't Collingwood fans trying to discredit the coaches association young player of the year award when Newcombe beat Daicos by almost double the amount of votes?

I can see why they threw all their energy into raising the 'esteem' of the media voted rising star award instead.

It's certainly possible, I don't keep tabs on them all, or represent them (or vice versa). You realize "Collingwood fans" isn't one person, or a collective consciousness, surely?
 
Dempsey at 16.7 disposals (great user of the footy too), 4.8 score involvements and 1.8 goals/assists a game mostly playing on the wing, is a decent shout now.

Wilson is going at 16.3 disposals, 3.3 score involvements and 1.5 goals/assists a game.
 
It's so moronic that you're not allowed to win the Rising Star if you're suspended, especially if it's for an act that's merely careless (like a dangerous tackle). I've never thought very highly of the Brownlow for the same reason - that and the fact that non-midfielders never win it.
Besides, missing games due to suspension (and therefore missing opportunities to get nominated) is already a penalty in and of itself.
 
It's Darcy Wilson's Rising Star award to lose now, hopefully he doesn't get himself rubbed out like Harley Reid and Sam Darcy did.

Its going to happen 1 year where the top 3 finishes in any award including the Brownlow would be ruled ineligible due to an antiquated definition of fair play.
 
Does anyone care about the rising star award anymore? Betting markets maybe, that's it.

The selectors are wrong more often than they are right. I just dont believe they are watching the games live, and are relying on stats and highlights packages. Which means there is no chance someone with good (non-tackling) defensive skills gets any points for that part of their game.
