Interesting precedent set. Is the defense Melksham didn't see the players infront because he's basically pushed McGovern into the players
The defence is he’s contesting a marking contest so he is allowed to push someone in the side or fly for a mark and knee someone in the head. Your focus is the ball, not a duty of care for the opposition.
Do either of those two things not in a marking contest and concuss someone, you will get weeks.
You don't understand what Schofield is talking about, clearly.
He actually doesn't think this act should be worthy of a suspension but just points out that the AFL punishes outcomes over actions 9 times out of 10.
This is the one they didn't.
His point is that if the AFL doesn't like a particular action, then it should be set so players know what actions they can be punished for. Instead, dangerous actions that don't end in concussions are let go and football acts that inadvertently lead to a concussion are punished.

At what point is it classified as a marking contest?
Both Mansell and Ginbey were in “marking contests” trying to move their opponent away from the ball as well
Where you are realistically competing for the ball to mark it. Both the previous Ginbey & Mansell incidents had those two out of the contest as they were 2-3m out of position and they stopped looking at the ball.
Basically, the difference between a free kick being paid for a block/sheppard in a marking contest and one not being paid. Simple.
Holy shit, finally common sense has been applied!

The AFL being inconsistent?
I'm shocked!
(and if you think they're consistent as frequently as 9 out of 10, I have a bridge to sell you).

Pav said he "hadn't noticed the umpires" the one time it was raised during the game which came after a 10 minute period where Melbourne were kissed on the dick. He's never balanced about WC.
It's alright if you barrel into someone with your body, if Melksham had laid a little pinky on him he was gone.
We all know how this will play out, more players will be bumped into the marking contest.

He wasn’t bumped into the marking contest - he was the marking contest.
Good result.

So McGovern still not recovered from concussion and has to see the afl concussion specialist(s). Afl said its ok not giving a suspension so if McGovern is forced to retire does he take afl to court over this?
It doesn’t change anything. Melksham didn’t do anything wrong as he was contesting the mark and actually marked it. It’s unfortunate that the concussion has lingered.
Over what exactly? You post some absolute dribble.
