Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 21: Carlton vs. Richmond

[kruddler]

No chance..

I think they will use that ambiguous term "insufficient force"...the player on the receiving end is the only one who can judge that though. The intent should be equally important.

Dangerfield, Ablett, Selwood, Dusty... Riewoldt, all the big names can take a swing/get in a sneaky blow/action at a lesser name and get away with it unless its so blatant and obvious and even then it will get appealed down.
It almost needs an independent body adjudicating but how can anything be independent with the AFL funding it?

Intent should be MORE important.

You can 'supposedly' can done for attempting to strike as its all about intent.

You have a guy laying on the ground, defensless, with his arm already behind his back courtesy of your tackle. Then for no other possible reason apart from deliberately trying to hurt him, you wrench the arm upwards further.

INTENT INTENT INTENT.

Should get 4 weeks like Judd did.
