This case is basically "is the bump illegal or not?" You can not have a system based on factors out of the responsible parties control. He shouldn't even be sent to the tribunal for an act that isn't illegal, it's a farce. Unless they come out and say that the contact was high then he should have no case to answer. Also if he did hit him high they should apologize and admit fault for not giving the free kick and reporting him.
The system is a joke and completely open to the AFL pushing whatever agenda they want at whatever time they want.
