Yes although when it comes to impact, I assume they'd use the same logic. Actually, I shouldn't assume anything with the MRPCrozier's was a tackle wasnt it?

Yes I said chose because he chose to bump instead of tackle and got Macrae high, he wears the consequences.
"Obviously not enough force"? Subjective given there's no threshold for suffering a concussion, Jack Viney copped a flying knee straight to the face a couple of weeks ago and bounced right back up.
I find it staggering that this case outrages you so much seeing as they are pretty common and with the same result.
Choose not to bump in the first place, it's that simple.What’s he meant to do?
Long had no chance of pulling out.
The only option is to hit McRae with his open chest, which would stuff Long right up.
Plus medium impact? Spare me.
Cotchin got off for a head high hit and actually injured Shiel.
I don’t actually think Cotchin should’ve been suspended necessarily but if you line these two incidents up it is particularly disgraceful.
From a broad perspective, I agree with you. He chose to bump when he didn't need to. By the AFL's criteria though, I don't see how this gets classified as medium impact. It is the exact same as the Marlion Pickett bump on Heeney. Christian stated himself that it was graded as low impact then because Heeney was fine and got up straight away.Choose not to bump in the first place, it's that simple.
Why do you still not understand the rule? If you choose to bump and hit a player in the head, you're in trouble. Don't like it? Try expressing your displeasure to the many players suffering the long term effects of concussion from headaches to memory loss.
That's not to say Christian is off the hook. Of course, if it was someone like Shaun Burgoyne or your boy Dangerfield, no doubt little Mike would make a special exception.

Impact is never going to be assessed consistently. Us bulldogs fans realized this with crozier earlier in the year.From a broad perspective, I agree with you. He chose to bump when he didn't need to.

Lol, are you really this dense?It was not really a choice, it’s just a collision at high speed so he did very well to slow down quickly and not injure him.

Congratulations on being a supporter of the bloke who got bumped and not acting like a ******* moron about it.Will be hard to overturn, they'll justify the medium impact because it "had the potential for further harm" or some rubbish like that. Crozier similarly was reported earlier this year with medium impact when the player was fine like Macrae.
It's just typically inconsistent and they choose to apply what they want, when they want, rather than when they should.

You calling others morons is a pot meet kettle moment.Ah here come the morons who've never played sport before
Yeah he should have jumped out of his way, you never wanna hurt someone ever
This is the classic bumping and catching the guy high.
You can't do it, and if the suspension doesn't get upheld it's a joke.
Dude not appearing to be hurt by it is just luck of the draw.
If he doesn't get suspended the AFL is condoning high hits.
Reckon it’s a poor decision. Long was also protecting himself in the split second he had IMHO. If Long doesn’t turn Macrae ploughed through him.

So Long misses a final because it could've been a potential injury? A fanciful case by the AFL
