Geelong captain Patrick Dangerfield has been hit with a one-match suspension for his controversial harmful sort out on Carlton’s Sam Walsh.
Debate erupted after the veteran tackled Walsh from behind within the opening seconds of the Cats’ loss to the Blues on Friday night time, with Walsh falling forwards and hitting his head on the bottom, profitable a free kick consequently.
The incident led to widespread debate across the footy world, with many claiming Dangerfield would face the wrath of Match Assessment Officer Michael Christian, whereas others believed Walsh contributed to his head hitting the bottom together with his transfer forwards.
Christian, although, dominated Dangerfield had uncared for his obligation of care in direction of the star Blue, grading the incident as careless conduct with medium impression and excessive contact to set off a one-match ban.
It appears probably, although, that the Cats will take the incident to the AFL Tribunal and argue that Dangerfield tried to carry Walsh up within the sort out moderately than driving him ahead.
