So Balta pushes english in the back. Nothing accidental or 'split second' about it, just a straight forward shove. This time, it was his own team mate that got taken out with concussion, but it could have easily been the other way around, and english is already on shaky grounds with multiple concussions. Or a knee, etc...
The AFL is so hard on head high contact, even trivial head contact from a tackle, which is much harder for the player to control, can result in suspension.
Should players be reported for shoving into a contest?
From a traditional 'purist' point of view, even, there is no downside - theres nothing 'hard' about shoving someone in the back. upside is more high marks, goals and less injuries
