Trengove & his dog act!!!

[Heafy83]

Now I have got you in here

Tribunal has just upheld their position and found him guilty of rough conduct and served him with a 3 match ban.

What does the bay think of this?

Personally I think the incident didn't even warrent a second look..... and I'm a crows fan.

Oh how Vlad and his crew are tarnishing our game

 

[Pera]

I actually thought it was a rip snorting tackle. If he's going to get three weeks, was better off breaking his arm in the process.

 

[Jamurp]

AFL were blinded by Dangerfields concussion, was a brilliant tackle on a player prone to getting hurt.

 

[Heafy83]

^^^^^^ I can't argue with either of these. Totally agree. Can't believe he got 3 weeks for it.

 

[Bennett.]

Disgraceful

 

[Brilliant]

It's a ****ing joke. So is Montagna being reported.

it's like they seriously expect a contact sport to happen without incidental concussions and injuries. Or wait, is it still a contact sport?

 

[Syrus]

The great game is fast becoming a shadow of its former self.

Dangerfield didn't even get awarded a free kick for it, yet Trengove gets 3 weeks. FFS sakes this game is getting soft and going the way of soccer.

Vlad is a cancer of AFL. He is killing it slowly.

Spot on.
Both incidents wouldn't have even raised an eyebrow ten years ago.
The funniest thing was MRP assessing Trengove's tackle as "high contact"

 

[The Wrecker]

WTF!
This game has gone to the dogs.
Speechless!

What did Campbell Brown get for the hit on Ward? 4 weeks?

So yep Trengove getting 3 seems about right

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Dropping Rodney Dangerfield on his head, dog act

 

[Plugger35]

The game is turning into bloody netball!!!!

They've even got players wearing those stupid substitute vests which are like netball bibs.

They'll be running around in skirts next.

Whats worse is brown got 2 weeks!! (he got 2 weeks for high contact on Hall as well... with a bad record and points already)

2 weeks to a proven spiner for a elbow back into the face 40 metres off the ball
3 weeks to a 1st offender.. for a tackle

 

[THECHIEFTON]

Well Mumford got done for a similar thing last year. So I suppose they had to? 2-3 weeks a bit harsh for a tackle but Rance got the same for standing in the way of Waite.

I love hard Footy, and miss the biffo... but I disagree with most posts here.

I watched Rocca rip Murphy's leg apart in a similar tackle. It's reckless, and leaves a player near defenseless

 

[adelaide_crows]

What a stupid decision. Unfortunately we might see the day when a player smothering a kick gets the ball in the face and the kicker will get suspended for head high contact

FFS, it's been illegal to tackle like that for 3 years. Professional footballers and coaches are paid lots of money to know the rules, it's not like it's new. If the MFC tackling coach is instructing players to tackle like that (according to the transcript) then he deserves everything he got.

To say "blah blah blah, smothering a ball, kick in the face, etc" is stupid, because smothering in any way is not illegal. Sling tackles are! If you pin an arm, sling tackle and the player gets injured, get ready for a holiday. It's not rocket surgery.

Now, I love hard, fair footy as much as the next guy, and yes 10 years ago this would have been textbook, but to pretend it was a legal tackle in 2011 is ridiculous. If you are disputing the report or the guilty finding, you obviously haven't read the rules in the past few years.

Do some ****ing research and stop your whining.

Your shitcart club already does.

You have clearly never played football before, if you think Trengroves tackle is out of the ordinary.

I get it, you're tough

I get it, your not.

 

[BigBroMike]

It's a stupid rule. Every player currently playing in the AFL was taught to tackle by pinning the players arms so that the player can't dispose the ball. It's next to impossible to change instict. The only reason this was even looked at was coz dangerfields head hit the turf. *** the mrp. Also the quarter time 'scrap' between Carlton and Saints last night resulted in something like $16,500 worth of fines handed down. It's just bullshit.

Sometimes I wonder.

God people like you make me want to pick up a gun....

"But that's the rule", "It's been a rule for x amount of years", "Everybody should know the rule", blah blah blah

IT'S THE FACT THAT THE RULE EXISTS IN THE FIRST PLACE THAT PEOPLE ARE ANGRY ABOUT!! WHY DOES THIS NEED EXPLAINING FFS?!

Put on a skirt sweetheart.
