AFL Rd 3 2023 Post Game Prognostications Giants vs Carlton

[LP]

Cmon Paul, surely the first thing should be “Is this a reasonable charge/outcome ?”

The old Carlton, the Malthouse / Bolton / Teague Carlton, would let Acres wear the charge due to the injury, but that is a failure to support the player.

We have to stand shoulder to shoulder with our players.

I get the AFL's stance but they can't be kyboshing players because of accidents, it's untenable for that to be penalised in a contact sport.
