Stiff to lose a potential Brownlow for that. Given it has only been a rule, and with all the new interpretations and ways the MRP now work, the eligibility for the Brownlow would have to be looked at. That tackle doesnt get cited 5+ years ago, plain and simple. You see incidents of by-gone eras where players get away with assault, not cited at all, yet now a strong tackle results in a weeks suspension.. Makes you wonder how many more ineligible players we would have seen had these rules been around as interpreted this way in the 70s/80s/90s
