So now we are punishing consequences rather than actions?
We are punishing the action. The bump was so late he may as well punched him in the head.

Nonsense. If he wasn't knocked out from his head hitting the ground , Brown wouldn't have been cited. Old mate Saadie will have his wits about him next he steps on a footy field I am sure.We are punishing the action. The bump was so late he may as well punched him in the head.

The initial contact was shoulder to shoulder. Christian is a clown and he consistently makes baffling decisions. It's another case of reverse engineering an outcome to punish someone for a legitimate action.Are you both blind? Can either of you read? He's been charged with making high contact. The MRO has dozens of other angles of the incident from which he made this decision. Therefore, he's made high contact.
No, it was a reportable action.The initial contact was shoulder to shoulder. Christian is a clown and he consistently makes baffling decisions. It's another case of reverse engineering an outcome to punish someone for a legitimate action.

Unless you don't think the laws of the game should apply here.
He has been charged with rough conduct. There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that is correct. I'll post the law again:
Intentionally or carelessly engaging in rough conduct against an opponent which in the circumstances is unreasonable.
I'd like to see anyone argue against the charge itself. You'd be saying it wasn't rough conduct and was reasonable in the circumstances. Good luck with that.
So it's the grading which is contentious, as it almost always seems to be. Intentional - tick. High impact - tick. It's his high contact grading which could be considered debatable. Christian has gone with that, meaning it goes to the tribunal with a minimum of three weeks. If he had gone "body", it would have been a two week offer and no tribunal.
It's now up to St Kilda whether they can argue down the grading and get a penalty of less than three weeks. I can't for the life of me see how they can argue he isn't guilty of the charge itself.
Cleared. Not sure what hE's done wrong. Not off the ball and no head high contact.
You understand the difference between contact and impact?He was out because of the whiplash effect, not because of any head high contact.
And there is no MRP it is just Chrisso and he has made a ruling to get the case to the tribunal rather than having him dealing with it
Not off the ball and no head high contact.
Except it is both of those.
To be a good bump, you actually need to be bumping somebody who is involved in the play. Gia was sheparding Kozi who was chasing a loose ball. Brown bumped Saad well after he'd disposed of it and was running down the ground. And that is why there's so much "media hysteria"; it was an off-the-ball incident. Had Saad been in possession of the ball at the time, the reaction would be very different.
"It's Saad's fault".It was in the play, Saad was running through the lines, if Brown didn't pick him off with a bump he would have kept running forward to create an option.
Saad had no awareness after handballing off and paid the price with Brown cleaning him up, we may as well ban the bump if Brown gets suspended.
If you don't want to get bumped then play netball or chess, if you play Aussie Rules football and cross the line into the field of play, expect to get bumped.
if the initial contact is not high (which it wasn't
"It's Saad's fault".
Lol.
Saad was looking left the whole time, handballed left and was still looking left expecting to run on, Brown saw an opportunity and cleaned him up.
As kids you're told to look left, look right and look left again when you cross the road, Saad forgot to look right and paid the price.

Answer is no it did not so all that is being punished is the consequence of the action of the bump.
Reckon it was a great bump. Too bad it's outlawed these days. Game is soft and boring these days
