Dangerfield suspension is absolute bs to be fair. He did nothing wrong. It was a textbook tackle. This rule was brought in to stop the two motion dump tackle and the sling tackle into the turf. It was never intended for a normal tackle where the head incidentally hits the ground. It’s a tough game and we want our players going in 100%, not constantly holding back because they’re too scared of getting suspended.

Imagine if that was Cripps getting rubbed out for that tackle. We’d be up in arms. Even worse, imagine if it happened in a preliminary final. This can’t become the standard for suspension.

It’s a curious situation where we suspend a player for a textbook tackle which is primary part of the game, where the player isn’t even injured, yet you can pretty much kill someone putting your knee through their head in a marking contest and it’s completely legit.

And besides, we need danger to get off to play the scum
