I struggle to see how an accidental head clash in a contest can attract a penalty

The penalty is a stuffen disgrace.  Its a collision sport. There was no malice or intent in the contact.  stuff u Livingstone

Sadly, like it is going to be in the men's game this season there is a massive crackdown on head high contact and this grey area called "duty of care"

I don't agree with it as Jess and her opponent only had eyes for the ball

But I am not surprised by it

Jess Hosking and Meagan Kiely have both accepted their charges from the Match Review Officer following Saturday's game against GWS.
