Can the AFL be done with the "impact" BS and just call it "injury". Let's be honest there is no objective way to measure impact on the footy field. Injuries are a rubbish proxy for impact so let's drop the pretence, and at least that way people won't be confused.
Also if the MRP are going to assess incidents as "in sufficient" force then put that as a category. Currently they confound so many things together it lacks transparency.
For example, the laws explicitly state that action with the same force can be categorised as having a different "impact" depending on if it is to the head or body. If where the contact is made is already include in the "impact" why is there a seperate category for it? It is counting something twice.

Real test for MRP integrity with Gibson hit on Greenwood similiar to Sloanes
Gibson MUST get 2 reduced to 1 if there is any integrity left in the system at all!

Lol. Yeah.
Phew! For a minute there I thought you put "integrity". And "the AFL" in the one sentence.

Why would there be a charge given it was minimal contact with his lunchlady underarm fat?
Does every high tackle lead to a suspension?
Mitchell was smashed high and didnt even get a freekick. Clearly the AFL wanted Collingwood to win.
... that is the level of sophistication of the headf#@k'd. Ignore everything which went against Hawthorn and only focus on the things which went their way.

Don't you realise Hawthorn is a protected species?
Not clever, hardworking or standard setting. No.
Protected. The AFL actually wants us to just win every year.
Yes, protected.
That's why nearly one third of clubs have a previous assistant to Clarko currently coaching.
That's why we have the most members.
Yes, protected.
That's why we have academies, draft concessions, money from the AFL and are allowed more money in the salary cap than other clubs. Oh hang on.
