Very frustrating that an accidental head clash can result in a suspension. No one would try to initiate a deliberate head clash when bumping a player. So it's clearly an accident.

If the head clash never happened, there is no case, so there is too much emphasis on the outcome.

When does this become a suspension. Fantasia flies for a mark and knees Taylor in the head. He chose to jump and so must be accountable for any head contact.

Where does all this Dangerfield hate come from?

Perhaps it's coming from people who think it's outrageous that a team could give a 6 year, $6 million contract (it was reported at the time to be $5M - but it had TPP increase adjustments built into it) to a 26-year old and then a 5-year contract to a 29 year-old.

Alternatively, maybe it's coming from Adelaide people who can't believe that the only way they could win a Preliminary Final was to clear him to Geelong and play in a Preliminary Final against him.

Who knows? I don't mind him at all. He has a special place in my heart for stinking it up so publicly against Sidey in Sidey's breakout final (the famous "right in front of me" game). Over the years, in key moments of big finals, Dangerfield's so often been the guy you want in the centre against you in the clinches.

Only speaking for myself.... Each time I have watched a Geelong game (which is not often), he seems to injure an opponent with a dodgy looking bump or a clumsy tackle and was never held to account because of his status (Brownlow medalist) - until now.

Geelong for mine are a pack of grubs thats all. Grubby dirty players always giving a cheap shot. Always have been and their supporters too just grubs.

No.... I have not seen GAJ injure other players the way Dangerfield seems too.
