So if you put a knee in someone's head in a marking contest it's a free kick right? Wait, it's not?

Legendary goal by Langford.

Nah! More lucrative to employ Cripps’s lawyer. He’ll get off and end up winning a Brownlow into the bargain.

Still waiting for someone to explain how having eyes for the ball allows you to put your shoulder through someone's head

Gresham and the bow and arrow guy from Port. Did Essendon take everyone’s fringe spuds again?
People celebrated too hard when the rule got changed for Maynard. Any accident should never get weeks.

Because it's not a free kick. No high contact in a marking contest.
He's in his Sydney bubble. Only watches Sydney games and thinks all physical contact is thuggery.
Wright isn't a thug, and that wasn't a thug act.
But if anyone thinks that Peter Wright would have gone through a teammate (let's say Zac Merrett) in the same manner if it were Merrett running back with the flight of the ball, is kidding themselves.
Wright knew Cunningham was there, all this talk about eyes on the ball and a last half-second unavoidable contact.... just not the case.
Wright would have realised he was late, and chose to bump as he didn't want to pull out. Football act, 1-2 weeks seems right to me.

Have you ever watched this sport before?
Maynard rule is getting off if playing for Collingwood
Couldn't mark without arms up to mark

Rules can have exceptions. As you have just demonstrated.
Cunningham needs to protect himself as well. Wright had no intention to even make contact with him. Pure accident. 0 weeks.

Toby Greene was allowed to kick a player in the face (from a handball). Wright should get off.

Once upon a time it did because it was thought to signify intent.
The change in the AFL is they don’t care about intent any more.
