Digging into the why
There's gotta be a line here. The AFL can't wash their hands of their responsibilities to health and safety but the players have to accept a certain level of risk in playing a contact sport.I agree, but I’m pretty sure such a policy wouldn’t be worth the paper it is written on. I’m sure these ideas have been considered and discarded for that reason.
I haven’t a clue what the best solution is to the mess we are seeing. I would like the AFL to do a genuine, independent review into all of this mess to determine what they want from the game and what rules they need to make it consistent.
I know that you and I may have some differing views on rulings, particularly where injuries happen. But I think both of us would prefer consistency to understand what is considered right or wrong. That way all of us can decide whether to have their TV on or off for now or forever. The week to week interpretation is killing it for me.
