Reckon Dangerfield got done for an unlucky rather than a dangerous tackle. Its part and parcel of the tackle unfortunately, and I thought his tackle was ok, he was just a bit unlucky that he brought him down on the head and not the shoulder. Letter of the law its a suspension but reckon he was a bit hard done by.

Hoping that he appeals and gets rejected so he gets his 2. If he doesn't get set for an angry rested Dangerfield when we play them.

Come on Danger, challenge ! its all about you, not CFC. Lose then its 2 weeks or more. Go for it

You concussed a player.

Apparently its the 3rd Carl player you have taken out "accidently" and they took no further part in recent times. 3rd time lucky, you win a 1 week holiday. Oh yeahhh !

Dusty for Brownlow. woohoo.

When he wins I hope he pulls up Cotch to celebrate it together after those drug cheats EFC ruined his Brownlow win/moment. Stuff 'em all

Good guy Danger, carefactor = 0 after seeing the witch hunt on any RFC players via media & others. stuff em.

If it was Dusty we'd be screaming the place down. I hate the system now where if Kruezer wasn't knocked out, there would be no charge. The charge has nothing to do with the action, just the outcome. I think Danger has been dudded.

It all boils down to the new AFL buzzwords "Duty of care". They have created a headache for themselves with all the PC stuff that's bandied around now.

Get real if that were Cochin it Martin it would be universally agreed upon to be the right thing to suspend. Danger drove the bloke into the ground with his arms pinned and kreuzer was concussed. Either the head is protected or its not.

all bs aside, spot on. As proven from the Houli suspension. Houlis was an accident but in the end about the person hurt

AFL have employed a specialist to look into all the head trauma. Even he said on one of the news sites on the weekend that he would be offended if Danger didn't get suspended if the AFL a real about head trauma.
Not about Danger but Kruezer's injury

They'll probably find an excuse to ping him for a week or two prior to season end.

Heaven forbid someone can't win an award because they don't satisfy the criteria (this isn't directed to anyone above.... just been listening to the whinging on radio). Maybe remove the 'best' component from the Brownlow and just award it to the 'fairest'?
FWIW I don't agree with his penalty.

As a cat man i think he may have been a tad hard done by, BUT thats the way it goes. Just wish there was some damned consistancy thats all i ask for. Didnt mummy concuss libber in a tackle and get let off. The AFL has a great game, marred by mickey mouse umpires/rules commitee, and of course the MRP. Buddy could kill Gillon ( i wish), and would still get off.

Im an anti cat Catman but I was surprised he got suspended for that. Actually I would love to see Dustin win the brownlow of course but it would be a much better win if it was done without this being a factor. But such is life!
