That's the end of our game then. Was fun while it lasted.

Can't agree. The Carlton bloke contributed like a lot of players, seeing what's coming and put their heads down to wear it for the free.
Butters was pure and simple super lucky.
Both were as dangerous as one another.
Yes Crouch's looks worse for the neck and spine and definitely dangerous but Butters, had the Carlton bloke not pulled back, could've taken his head clean off.

So one certainly placed the players neck and spine in danger and the other might have been the first ever AFL decapitation. Righto.

Harder to watch, that's for sure. The game has been tinkered too much, often as a knee-jerk reaction to a small sample of incidents.

For mine the mid to late 80s is the best period culminating in the best GF I've seen (excluding 73, 85, 86, 19 and 23) the 1989 VFL GF. Two teams that just put the foot down and played hard win the ball footy and scored 42 goals.

Both sides would've had about 10 blokes out for round 1 the following season because of reports

Only two reports Dipper and Cameron for Geelong both for striking
Injuries, now that's another story if Geelong had a kicked another goal
