They must have used the ARC to determine that there was head high contact in that case then. Because nobody watching the actual footage would have seen it.The AFL has tightened its rules around head-high contact for 2022, with more suspensions likely to be given out under tweaks for the Match Review and Tribunal.
Previously when a high bump or front-on contact occurred, “strong consideration” had to be given to the potential to cause injury. New for next season, the potential to cause injury must be factored into the impact grading.
It means, as with striking charges, any high contact with the potential to cause injury will “usually” be classified as either medium, high or severe impact - not low impact.
A medium impact grading along with careless conduct and high contact results in a one-match suspension.
Hawkins not fined for staging.
Parody confirmed.
The MRO condones players diving and flopping for frees and putting pressure on umpires.
It's a quality organisation, the AFL.

Which numpty is the one who has the power to over rule the MRP? Please tell me it's Scott."It was the view of the MRO that Hawkins exaggerated the contact but that his actions did not constitute a reportable offence."
Staging is okay as long as it's not "excessive". Ridiculous.
Don’t even get me started on ‘dropping at the knees’ when approaching a tackle and ‘lifting the arm’.The MRO condones players diving and flopping for frees and putting pressure on umpires.

This dropping the knees is my biggest beef with the way the game is being played. It’s a disease that is killing the game. Selwood initiated, league approved. Made a rod for their own back with disastrous consequences. Nearly impossible to tackle legally now.Don’t even get me started on ‘dropping at the knees’ when approaching a tackle and ‘lifting the arm’.
Their use of pedantic language to justify certain outcomes is world class.
If the NMFC decided it was to play European Handball, I’d never watch another AFL match.

We can attempt to downgrade it from medium to low considering Stanley played out the game. That was a lot less aggressive than the Darcy Gardiner one and he was fined. The other was Willie Rioli and he got off completely after appeal.

Yep and it was assessed as low impact. Go figure.What am I missing here, Gardiner was later and more damaging
Not the brightest decision but hard to see how it is "medium" force. He's 200+ cm and pushing towards 100kg's - medium impact does not equal this result.You really have to wonder how this even got looked at considering Stanley gets up to take his kick straight away?
It wasn’t even talked about or highlighted in the coverage, so someone has brought it to their attention.
If this was Dangerfield or Hawkins, you can bet that Christen would have graded it as force below what is required for a suspension or low and handed them a fine.
Had the club accepted or will they challenge the grading of medium force?
