It was more of a protective measure more than anything which happen's a hundred times in a game of footy.

Ban the hanger
Spoils that whack the guy playing in front
In both those instances, the player is going for the ball. When you bump, you have no intention going for the ball.

That doesn't really come into account at the tribunal.
He could have looked to tackle and worst case outcome is he wraps around the hips and brings the player to ground and gives away a holding the man.
He choose to bump, hit the head and will now be suspended. The AFL cant be clearer, you bump people, if you make contact with the head no excuse will get you out of a suspension. They cant be any clearer that they don't want players bumping.
Absolutely spot on whufc!!
It staggers me people that understand footy as much as Dutchy, Booney, etc don't get this
The vision clearly shows the bump hit Laird in head. End of story. EVERYBODY in the AFL knows this is a one week suspension under the new rules.
End of story, get over it!!

Very inconsistent with other suspensions they have handed out

Soon the bump will be outlawed, imagine how many games Pickett would've missed if he only came on to the scene now.

Don't make contact to the head and you are fine.
Cunnington had every intention of taking laird out, but didn't really follow through with it.
But it was late and slight head contact.
If that's just a fine, I'm all good with that as long as its consistent.
I'm just wondering, if Hawkins did it would the penalty be the same?

The PA facebook page put up a Pickett highlight reel the other week and he deadest would have got 20+ games easily. Pretty much every bump of his he was off the ground
What a legend.
