Does anyone else think that this is an extremely soft report?

What was the report for? Surely not that bump on Mitchell? He got him on the shoulder and it looked Mitchell ricocheted into Ling.
Nothing in it at all.
If there is vision of Steve Johnson on Hodge i think he may go as apparently it was pretty bad.
Reports: Simon Taylor (Haw) reported by umpire Ryan for misconduct (kneeing) on Joel Selwood (Geel) in the first quarter.
Max Rooke (Geel) reported by umpire McBurney for engaging in rough conduct on Sam Mitchell (Haw) in the third quarter.
Luke Hodge (Haw) reported by umpire McBurney for striking Tom Lonergan (Geel) in the third quarter.
Andrew Mackie (Geel) reported by umpire McBurney for striking Brent Renouf (Haw) in the fourth quarter.
from the AFL Website.
I thought Mitchell was also reported for his flying elbow on selwood in the first quarter?
If Hodge also includes the fresh air around his head then he'll go, but if you actually need to make contact with a player to be suspended he'll be fine.
It looked from one watch of a replay only that SJ missed. There was intent there though!

Adam Goodes wins brownlows making those hits.
Reportable but wouldn't cop much for it you'd think. Typically Mitchell made it look a heck of a lot worse. Good to see Hodge still cheap-shotting as usual (and patting Lonergan on the back afterwards as if he didn't mean it). Please return the favour.
Rooke's report was nothing...should get off. Mackie should get a reprimand.
I think he should go for the head high slide into Chapman on the boundary. Ugly, head high and reckless.
Most of the reports for the night will be thrown out. Mitchell's reaction was hilarious to this bump.
