Don't beat around the bush.....it was Kelly Underwood that got her convicted.

I don't follow the AflW closely  but given the game is in its infancy it looks over umpired and any head high contact is going to be acted on so the game remains clean and attractive as a brand to young women.
If you get a few players seriously injured with head high tackles then it's going to be highlighted and the game questioned about being safe for young women so I would be expecting it be over sanitised until it is more established.

But it has to be a high tackle, you can't just label an event that for political or personal purposes!

Prespakis tackle was nothing of the sort, she actually ended up underneath Sarah Hosking for the initial impact!

Wasnt the charge medium impact, high contact..? the player went off too?
I'm not saying MaddieP was guilty but its all about the look of the game especially in a new brand you are trying to sell.....

Maddie laid a textbook tackle on Sarah.  Sarah’s momentum caused her to somersault and land on her shoulder.  Sarah was taken off for a concussion test after a second tackle by Maddie.  She passed the test and returned to play and even spoke to the boundary rider about how she was good to go.

One camera angle does suggest that there’s intent in Maddie’s tackle but the other angle shows that there was nothing to it.

I doubt whether Maddie would have been reported if Underwood had recanted after viewing the second lot of vision.

If the AFLW was concerned about the look of the game, Marinoff would never have had her suspension overturned after fracturing Brid Stack’s neck.

For the purposes of sling tackles or double movement tackles (Maddie did have a slight second movement to ramp up the force) the contact in question includes contact made by the ground.

The logic behind that is you could essentially spear tackle/pile drive people without a penalty because all the force and damage was made by the ground.

....and the duty of care is on the tackler

I'm glad the club is challenging the suspension.

Momentum played a big part in this. It was not careless as Maddie cannot be expected to factor in momentum... medium impact is again not Maddie's responsibility as momentum again played a major role, most tackles result in medium impact and the high contact was not from Maddie but from her opponent's momentum in the tackle. For mine the tackle was made 'dangerous' by the angle of tackle and momentum of the opponent, not from any carelessness, dangerousness or malice. Mind you, I am not a lawyer and am heavily biased!

Nothing wrong with that tackle.

I thought it was a beauty.

Fair point on the Brid Stack tackle, my issue is more how the AFL see the look of the game and a series of high contact/tackles what ever you want to call it each week with high profile players reported isnt a good look. You wouldnt have many parents pushing their kids into playing AFLW when they can choose basketball/netball or Cricket for example if that stuff is appearing on the sports reports on TV on a regular basis.
