Geelong captain Patrick Dangerfield has talked his way out of a rough conduct charge and is free to play in the Cats’ crunch game against Essendon. Dangerfield won his challenge to a one-game suspension during his fiery tribunal battle on Tuesday night after being cited for a dangerous tackle on Carlton’s midfield superstar Sam Walsh. The incident was assessed by the match review officer as rough conduct, comprising careless conduct, medium impact and high contact.
“I was in control of the way he was brought to the ground, absolutely I was in control, I was pulling him back. “I know where the industry is at with concussion, with head-high impact and trauma, all of those things. “That is why I was pulling him back. I felt it was the safest way to do it.” He said he was in control of the tackle and it was safer with both arms pinned, rather than to leaving an arm “flailing”. “Absolutely I was in control,” he insisted.
