MRP / Trib. Patrick Dangerfield elbow to the head of Ryan Burns

Remove this Banner Ad

Geelong fans quiet all day and then flock in to tell everyone how perfect and innocent their golden boy Paddy is. Such a downhill skiing fanbase.
Of course.
Nearly killed Vlastuin 2020 granny and nothing also.
 
Ryan burns bounced right up and had nil issues at all.
As so did T. De Koning when Lynch bumped him. But Lynch still go a week.

I get it now. S De Koning must have not liked Lynchy bumping his brother so he had a word to Shocking who called Christian and they decided a 1 week suspension would be good enough to teach naughty Lynch not to rough up his brother.

On a serious note, the way the rules are interpreted these days is a bloody lottery. There is no consistency.

Guys, they're laughing at you... :roflv1:

MRO Michael Christian opted to fine Dangerfield, but Kane Cornes cannot comprehend how that action was deemed to be anything more than a simple free kick, urging the Cats to challenge the fiscal penalty.

“This needs to be challenged,” Cornes said on SEN Breakfast.

“Well done, ‘Chrisso’, for not suspending him, but if he did I would have been more upset.

“There are things in football that are just free kicks. That is just a free kick, that is not a $6,000 fine.

“As much as people think, ‘Oh, Dangerfield has got money and money doesn’t matter (to him)’. Six grand, that’s after tax, just for an incident that should have been a free kick.

“It blows my mind. Challenge it!”

Fireball co-host David King agrees: “I don’t see why we’re fining him.

“The impact wasn’t there. It was a glancing blow that skimmed off the shoulder.

“It was an accident at best, move on.”
 
How have we got to the point where an accidental bump to the head gets multiple weeks, yet a deliberate elbow (not forceful mind you) just gets a fine.

I honestly don’t think this deserves a suspension, but it all just feels wrong. If you're punishing all the other ones then this should be a week for stupidity more than anything else. Putting his elbow up served no purpose but to hit Byrnes.
 
OMFG!

Like it's a minimal strike, but to say it's a push is ridiculous.

Late.
Careless.
High.
Low impact.
It was officially classified as careless, low impact and high contact, therefore fine. And a decent fine. Dangerfield is lucky the strike was only low impact

That's what I said. I agree with that, but why wasn't Lynch given the same grading considering his opponent went uninjured, had no concussion test, played out the game, was pushed (slightly) into his opponent by another opponent, ...

It's the inconsistency that frustrates.

SEN lol,say no more.
Raised elbow ,strikes Saints player in the head.

And the Geelong boy's club defend him lol.

While Tommy Lynch cops a week.

Unfarkinbelievable.

Put Dangerfield in a Tiger jumper and he'd cop a week for the same incident.

You know it,I know it,we all know it.

No Pinocchio Geelong BS will prove otherwise.

Don't disagree. It's a lottery
 
"If the AFL weren't favouring Geelong the number should be at least double the next highest!" 🤓
Next rort targeted.
Let's get that down to 0 weeks.
