You seem to be are laying blame on Newman for trying to apply a legitimate tackle and in the process getting a high hit. (and more specifically his jaw). He should not try and tackle because the "brick wall" has a right to clean you up for doing so. No duty of care? I get the feeling you are trying to suggest Newman was leading with his head? If that's the case then you and I see things far differently than I first thought
Dusty was using high fend offs for years before the AFL started to penalise him for it. At least he wasn't causing any serious damage.
Only one of us is laying blame on someone and its not me.
All i'm saying is footy is a contact sport and in contact sports there is.....wait for it....contact. Some of which is incidental/accidental. Nobody is to blame. Its just footy.
