MRP / Trib. MRP and Tribunal - 2024 - Rd 23 - The Derby Dustup

[Underarm]

Everyone is concussed now, you fall over and the doctor will say your concussed. All butt covering.

 

[GCS in 11]

I’m sorry what?

So Davies used the correct technique that was in the training video, which the Tribunal agreed was the correct method. But then says that the player should not use the correct technique that they’ve been taught to use if the other player doesn’t use the right technique?

That’s actually laughable as an explanation.

 

[SC_Power]

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.

Don’t have to go far back. Sept 2023. At the risk of going Facebook, Like if you think this is worse than the Bedford tackle.

Go have a look at what Danger did on Friday night at 18.35 left in the 2nd quarter. Try and tell me there is much difference between that and the Davies one

 

[SC_Power]

Was the player concussed?

Driving tackle, Arms pinned by two tacklers, head hits the ground, Greene holds his head immediately afterwards.

not concussed so all ok. Also a pies player also BT's and most of the medias lovechild

 

[Orange crush]

Was the player concussed?

He was forced off for hia with 5ish minutes left in the game

So no?

 

[Consolaçao]

What craziness.
Something i’ve wondered before is whether we’ll ever see a player suspended for a collision with a teammate that results in concussion. It’s clear that whether there is intent of malice is not relevant and that it’s the failure to exercise duty of care that matters.
Surely this means a careless act that hurts a teammate is problematic.
The collision on Friday night between Tom Stewart and (i think) Close comes to mind. Put one of those two in a Collingwood jumper and does that get looked at?

 

[DarkPhoenix]

This game is almost at the point where it can go **** itself.

I understand protecting the head. But you can't be putting players out for 1/8th of the season for a complete accident where they really didn't do anything wrong, just because you want to send a message.

Probably not a suspension but potentially a lawsuit.

Did not know that. Well, what is the difference worth 3 weeks?

 

[Coasters7]

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

 

[revo333]

I can't believe that more fans are not up in arms over these ridiculous suspensions. This is boycott the sport type of suspensions.
Just shows how little the fans care about the sport these days.

I have not watched many games this season.

Just watch the mini highlights on Kayo if it's a good match up and my life has been better for it.

[LordLucifer]

What would the stern warning be for?

'Refrain from chasing and applying a tackle in the future'?

When a player gets concussed, I think the tribunal has an obligation to give the tackler a spray along the way.

That’s actually laughable as an explanation.

Port Adelaide's council, and Gold Coast's council both argued to the tribunal that the contact was reasonable and didn't constitute a reportable offence.

The council AGREED that it was the correct technique to collect a ground ball (which it was) based on video footage the AFL has approved.

He DIDN'T elect to bump, nor did he tackle.

Jones DIDN'T use the correct technique to collect a ground ball.

and yet the ban is still upheld.

Genuinely ridiculous.

Gets held illegally 50-60 times a game so he’s hardly a protected species…

So roughly translated.

"You did the right thing, but doing the right thing was actually the wrong thing to do"

.....Got it.

And the others mentioned don’t?

Davies was worth 5
The fact he appealed just underlines his complete ignorance of the rules
Idiot

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.

 

[Handyandy]

Rosas and Gold Coast were the winners this week

Davies didn't appeal.........the Club did.....have a go at them if you choose.......and people in glass houses.....
