So it went exactly as predicted and based on how the categories dictate.

Actually agree with this. Also, think it is a fair precedence as long as it remains that way. That said, the intent from Dangerfield was nowhere near that of Zac Williams. The outcome much worse, therefore it‘s the risk you take, I guess. In the end, you’ve gotta feel for a bloke who went to work and ended up with a broken nose and concussion
His main thrust was correct though?

Yeah, it just stood out as I’m not sure many current players would be as strong knowing that them or a player in their team could soon be in a very similar situation. Just wondered where the motivation came from for his extra intensity in the comment
But the rules now hold the person who chose to bump culpable for injuries to the contactees head. That includes head clashes and the head hitting the ground.
He may have gained some self control and media savviness in recent years due to being burned in the past, but he's still Jack Riewoldt - passionate bloke and not the kind to mince words

Imagine if Sicily or Greene were responsible.
Greene would've got 10 but probably led with the boot

But not low enough. If you go the bump, you're now responsible for where you're head is as well.
This will make bumping more difficult to execute no doubt, but there are plenty of solid bumps each weekend where the heads don't clash. Sometimes the technique is poor but they get lucky. Dangerfield's technique was poor and he didn't get lucky.

I don’t disagree with the stance at all, but it would’ve been nice to see him hold the same energy towards Astbury’s wild elbow which could’ve been just as damaging. One issue at a time I guess.
Maybe he genuinely doesn’t want to see his colleagues (at all clubs) getting brain damage. Now, if only the AFLPA president thought that way.

Jack Riewoldt would get lower to bump as those 3 x premiership and 3 x Coleman medals keep his head and neck down 
Could it actually have been just as damaging? Big part of the damage was concussion due to the severity of the impact which whiplash would play a part in...
From that position can you actually throw a severe elbow?
Feel like there's a serious disparity in force when comparing the two ...

How do you do good technique to avoid head clashes?
Yep. Given the minimum penalty the AFL could get away with against one of their own and a protected football personality.
They penalised the action and didnt factor in just how severe the injury was.
If it was a no name player knocking out Dangerfield it would have been 5-6 weeks IMO.

Bend at the hips is your first go. Tuck your head in. Plenty of example each week.
Sometimes you'll have poor technique and get lucky. Danger didn't.
No one is disputing it's harder to bump now. The AFL have deliberately gone down that path and for good reason. But people have been saying the bump is dead for about a decade now and we still see plenty each week.

Would have been nice if Jake Kelly's captain and former captain shared a similar view instead of covering for their mate ...

You don’t need much force to do damage with an elbow. Shouldn’t be throwing them regardless.

So I'm guessing all the people who think accidental head clashes are worth suspensions all think that Nick Riewoldt should have got a month for this?
Came in at speed, hit a vulnerable player etc. Both a bump and tackle are legal if performed properly. Same thing between this and Danger was a head clash which neither player intended

Jack Riewoldt is a ******* w***er. When Sydney stack nailed Viney with his bump he was on 360 talking about how great it was ( fair enough, I loved it too) but the only difference between stack and danger was an ACCIDENTAL clash of heads.
Calling stack a hero and danger a flog is double standard horse s**t. Spineless little piss ant is Jack Riewoldt

The way 99% of other bumps are done is a good start
