Woods says it's fair the impact be graded medium.
"When you take momentum and positioning that I've gone through, the momentum and positioning, meant there was real potential to cause a serious injury to Sheezel," Woods said.
He suggests there's a risk of a neck injury or concussion.
"It could easily have been, accidentally, slightly higher and Sheezel could have sustained a concussion. Thankfully that didn't happen. They're clear and present risks.
"It's appropriate, given what guidelines, that it should be medium, due to the nature and extent the action risked."
The above is from AFL website from the AFL council in the McKay case. Think it will stand by the sounds of it.
What a joke the AFL are at times like this. So now in this situation they are grading a collision on 'potential to cause damage' That is completely at odds with previous rulings.
They just cop and change things as it suits them
