Here's a thought experiment for you....
The AFL are outcome based and penalise players who make contact and injure another player.....even if in a normal world it would be considered an 'accident'.
If this was 1 player from each team. Who would the AFL penalise?
It reminds me of the Plowman / O'Meara incident.
Plowman got suspended because he didn't get injured. Even through he went for the ball, and got the ball.
Would the AFL suspend Martin who got to the ball first but potentially saw him coming?
Would the AFL suspend Fogarty because he got to it second and should've tackled?
