Ryan Nyhuis to face Tribunal over dangerous Robbie Gray tackle
FREMANTLE defender Ryan Nyhuis has been referred directly to the Tribunal for the dangerous tackle that left Port Adelaide superstar Robbie Gray with concussion on Sunday.
Nyhuis corralled Gray, who had the ball on the half-forward flank, before wrapping up his opponent and slamming him into the Optus Stadium turf, just inches from the harder artificial turf.
Gray didn’t stir until after medical staff tended to him. The 30-year-old was eventually placed on a stretcher with his head in a neck brace and driven to Port’s changing rooms for assessment, his day done.
Match Review Officer Michael Christian graded the incident as careless with severe impact to the head, meaning Nyhuis will state his case to the Tribunal on Tuesday.
Christian took into account the visual look of the impact, player reaction and a medical report provided by Port Adelaide.
“We felt comfortable that the appropriate grading was severe,” Christian said.
“It looked excessively forceful, but it will go to the tribunal and the tribunal will hear evidence from the Fremantle Dockers and also from the AFL and make a determination about that.
“But that was taken into account in terms of determining the impact.”
Christian said tackling motions like the one Nyhuis delivered were viewed “very seriously” by the AFL.
“The tackle provisions are very well written and the overriding provisions is whether it’s unreasonable in the circumstances,” he said.
“There’s some really good guidelines as to what constitutes a dangerous tackle.
“In this particular case, there looked to be more than one action.
“The fact that he drove Robbie Gray into the ground in a vulnerable position with excessive force, it’s pretty conclusive that it did sit quite comfortably within the dangerous tackle guidelines.”
