Vlastuin High Hit

[_RT_]

In the second incident you see Vlastuin give an elbow to Thompson in the chest initially then as he goes to whack him in the chest Thompson drops his knees into the contact and gets whacked in the jaw. Given the guidelines in that it was off the ball, it should be graded as intentional high contact and low impact which would draw a weeks suspension.

However does Thompsons actions contribute to the higher contact than intended because he did kind of duck into it probably trying to draw the high contact to get a 50m penalty given.

Personally I think it doesn't matter because you just shouldn't be throwing any sort of punch at an opponent and if Vlastuin gets rubbed out it will serve him right.

Wrong video I think you've linked there.

I think it'll probably be judged careless.

Etihad looking good. And different.

Probably just a fine, but I think Thompson got a blood nose so not sure how they'll grade impact. The almost kick afterwards wasn't a good look.
