I don’t necessarily agree but have no major issue with that policy - I do have an issue with the policy by stealth and attacking soft targets at certain clubs. If they want change, have the guts to change the rules of the game, state the policy and enforce impartially. What occurred is bullshit and we shouldn’t have even had to pay to argue the point.
Exactly the bump is legal as is 3rd man up in a marking contest.
Houston few in from the side with reckless abandon, initiated contact and kneed Taylor in the head with no attempt to mark but managed to make contact with the ball. No case to answer as it was an accident and he wasn't Jack Ziebell chasing a crappy handball.
If it was Cunnington instead of Houston and AFL bump logic applied, then Careless, High, High with injury and a medical report with potential to cause more serious injury.
