Daniher, Lions clear on AFL tackle crackdown

The Brisbane Lions’ Joe Daniher insists his teammates are clear on the AFL’s adjudication of a harmful sort out and “have to wear it” in the event that they get it mistaken.

St Kilda will problem Dan Butler’s controversial one-match ban for tough conduct on the AFL tribunal within the newest check for the league’s crackdown.

Hawthorn legend turned commentator Jason Dunstall mentioned within the broadcast he could be “horrified” if Butler was suspended for the chase-down sort out on Sydney’s Nick Blakey.

The Lions are but to look at the AFL’s newest tutorial video that some golf equipment have reportedly chosen to not view in worry of including additional doubt within the minds of their gamers.

A membership spokesperson advised AAP they’d view the video later this week, however Daniher mentioned there was no uncertainty amongst his crew.

“We’re pretty comfortable; the AFL is doing their best to protect us,” he mentioned on Tuesday.

“The game is so fast, there’s tiny, one-second influences that change a good tackle to a bad tackle.

“Sometimes you have simply received to put on that somewhat bit.”

It will be a busy Tuesday night at the tribunal after Hawthorn captain James Sicily and Richmond forward Rhyan Mansell were referred directly at the weekend.

Sicily, in his first game back from a one-match ban, was again charged with rough conduct over the dangerous tackle that concussed Brisbane star Hugh McCluggage.

McCluggage was knocked out cold in the incident and didn’t move for almost a minute before staggering off the field with the help of trainers.

He will miss Friday night’s Gabba clash with the Swans but completed a light run at Tuesday’s training and is “in good spirits”, based on Daniher.

“After the sport you could not inform something occurred to him,” he mentioned.

“It was a reasonably severe incident, however hopefully it is nothing to fret about after he has a relaxation and comes again.”

The Lions have lost games either side of a bye, both away to Adelaide and then Hawthorn.

All four of Brisbane’s losses have come away from home and Daniher said reviews had revealed a theme.

“All these video games there’s been some patterns about how we have introduced our vitality to the competition,” he mentioned.

“I do not assume it is received a complete lot to do with the bottom, it is about bringing that effort and defensive strain anyplace we play.

“We need to make sure we’re more consistent than we’re currently being.”

Daniher mentioned he was humbled by the code’s dedication to uncle Neale Daniher’s Big Freeze initiative since he was recognized with MND in 2013.

This 12 months’s marketing campaign has already raised $2.3 million, with the Lions to host their very own model of the annual MCG occasion on the Gabba earlier than their recreation in opposition to Sydney.

“It’s incredible what he’s been able to achieve in his time since being diagnosed,” he mentioned.

“This disease is tough, it wears you down and continually challenges you. But Neale’s inner strength and mental strength inspires everyone.”
