If the AFL is going to adjudicate ground ball contests where someone is concussed as suspendable actions, I wonder when where the outcome is the same, the act of contesting a mark will lead to a suspension. We often hear commentators say "so and so crashed the pack to take a mark". It is surely only a matter of time, then, where a player flies for a mark, "crashes a pack" and knocks out an opposition player. What is the difference between a ground ball contest and an aerial contest, where one player concusses another in pursuit of winning the footy? Surely not much. Well nothing really, especially if someone "crashes a pack".
