Harley Reid copped 2 weeks

Is this the same sort of tackle action that cost Harley Reid a 2 week suspension?

Not saying I didn't enjoy watching it, but it looks like a dangerous tackle to me. He did hit his head didn't he?

No!

All we ask is consistency. I thought Wilson had his arms pinned by Harley, but on replay it doesn’t appear so.

Dangerous sling but it's the key position lovechild of the AFL and Naicos wasn't hurt

The only thing that would prevent Cameron from getting 2 weeks would be AFL corruption.

What a pity Daicos didn't get two of concussion as well.

I don’t pretend to understand how the whole dangerous tackle works/ doesn’t work.

If Daicos doesn’t roll like a gymnast and hit his head on the ground and is concussed, Cameron gets suspended, as it stands I don’t think he gets any repercussions.

How does a player stop a raging bull 90kg 193cm athlete in a fair tackle while showing duty of care to ensure they are not injured?

As long as it’s not a dangerous action like pile drive, sling tackle (head/ neck injury) or drop tackle (lower leg breaks and knees) if there is an accidental injury it is part of a collision based contact sport IMO.

At some stage there needs to be acceptable technique and not, right now the same tackle technique could be ignored 20 times then see a player suspended for an identical action if the player he tackles hits his head on the ground.

It is beyond my comprehension to rectify, all I know the current system is confusing and inconsistent.

Another dirty high hit from Tom Stewart Friday night.

The MRO would have handed any other player an automatic 1 week suspension
