Your own team provided council that argued to the tribunal that "he was contesting the ball so the contact was reasonable and did not constitute a reportable offence."Davies was worth 5
The fact he appealed just underlines his complete ignorance of the rules
Idiot
yep the gutsy types who play every week with shoulder issues are now going to be targeted and obviously will pay the priceChicken wing is now the way to tackle without getting suspended. Watch guys getting booked in for shoulder reco's on a weekly basis as a result.
And sue them for facial injuries.By god he's gunna do it.
They won't do anything if its Daicos or Pendlebury or Bontenpelli or Cripps or Dangerfield. Heck Bont got off after fracturing Nick Haynes Larynx and still played next week. No different to Cotchin getting off after injuring Shiel. AFL won't give a fck and fold quickly if it's a high profile player or someone from a big club.Daicos should be scrutinised for every single action he does from now. Have the microscope on him for every single tackle he makes. Hold the AFL accountable and see if they stick to their guns. The backlash and fallout from one of their star players like Nick Daicos being rubbed out for a regulation tackle would be interesting to say the least.
Sounds like Sicily last year (not an elimination final but the tackle and winning the free)it is in the last min of an Elimination Final, a kick in it and Player A bursts through the pack in the centre of the Gabba (ala Cricket Pitch).
But Player B chases after him, dives to tackle, and catches him and pins his arms to prevent the handball to his close-by teammates. He doesn't get him in the back but he can't stop his momentium and gravity from falling and going to the ground Player A hits his head on the hard turf and gets up a bit groggy.
Still, the ump plays holding the ball. His team wins and everyone celebrates this match-saving action, they are through to the semi. Player B is a hero.
On Monday, Player B gets 3 weeks and misses the rest of the final series.....
A suspension is a joke, let alone 3 weeks. Something needs to change

I think it’s a very simple directive from the AFL, don’t tackle. Players just aren’t following it yet.
Don’t be surprised that within 10-15 years, tackling is outlawed altogether.

Dangerfields was the identical motion to Bedfords, and before we go down the “one was concussed and the other wasn’t” path, that didn’t seem to matter in Reid’s case either.
So where are we at? How can there be so much inconsistency and grey area open for manipulation
I never understand why people make this comment, "don't pin the arms". It's literally how everyone is taught to tackle. If you don't pin the arms, then they are free to dispose of the ball, rendering the tackle ineffective. Also, if you're chasing someone with his arms beside him, how do you tackle without pinning them?Just don’t pin the arms & slam them.
Well I guess you must be right because of your superior use of emojis and the words clueless and utterly.Monkey
Completely and utterly clueless if you think they are anything alike.
It’s clear a few posters need to read the rules about dangerous tackles.
Will never happen. The AFL will manufacture the result they want and that will be the one that maximises revenue.I'm looking forward to a star player missing an entire finals series because of these rules and interpretations.
AFL two major roles currently held by Lawyers which reminds me of the old gag about ending up stranded on an island 🏝 with a Lawyer and a LionAfl leadership is what needs to change and dog whistling to PR interest groups and lawyers.
