This just has the feeling of a bit of a schemozzle.
We'll hear the howls when a player like Selwood continues to get away with it.
We'll hear the howls when one of our blokes isn't rewarded.
It's like the dissention rule.
It puts a burden on the umpire that is very subjective.
Have a look back at the recent discussion here and you'll see that two people can have a totally different opinion of exactly the same situation.
I'll go against the grain here....
To me a high tackle is a high tackle and should be penalised.
Introduce a whole range of options and caveats and it gets very confusing.
No doubt it will influence the results of some games.
