Geelong captain Patrick Dangerfield successfully had a one-match ban for a dangerous tackle on Sam Walsh overturned at the AFL Tribunal.
The incident was assessed by the match review officer as rough conduct, comprising careless conduct, medium impact and high contact. Walsh wasn't hurt or treated medically because of the tackle but the AFL's counsel Andrew Woods argued Dangerfield's act had potential to cause injury."Dangerfield didn't do enough to discharge the duty that he owed Walsh … and left him in a very vulnerable position."But Dangerfield, who is president of the AFL Players Association, said he was well aware of his duty of care to Walsh.
