I think the AFL have created a monster. A player gets hit in the head = must be reportable. The club takes the matter to tribunal because the act itself isn't dangerous and gets off.
What's the AFL's actual stance on the head being sacrosanct? If it's that a player gets hit in the head, it's reportable, then fix the rules so that the tribunal has no option but to suspend the player. Till then, we'll have this grey area.

I think the issue lies in the fact the punishment is far more weighted against the outcome than the action. (i guess that is reflective of the legal system but not sure it works as well in a sports sense)
In the McKay incident, there wasn't a lot of damage done but that action imo was very dangerous and somewhat a non-footballing action. It wasn't a bump (tucked in elbow) , wasn't a tackle it was a raised arm/elbow.

Why didn't he just spoil the ball off the boot? He had the time. But his eyes were on cheezels and intention was to take the body.

Good merch, not sure I like it as a guernsey. My OCD doesn't allow anything that's not symmetrical to please my eye.

A little strange to wear predominantly navy blue when playing Carlton?
