If he does there's something wrong.  The Carlton player ducked into a head high tackle.
The umpire should be booked for laying the charge.

Herald-Sun:Promising defender Luke McGuane was reported for making forceful contact to the head, after bumping Carlton onballer Marc Murphy in the first quarter.

Age: Richmond's Luke McGuane was reported in the first quarter for a challenge on Marc Murphy when the young Carlton onballer had his head down over the ball. A half-time melee will also be analysed. Patrick Bowden had remonstrated with Brendan Fevola after the Blues full-forward cannoned into Andrew Krakouer momentarily after the siren.

Oh please!  Both incidents were a joke.  Umpires need some serious counselling if they think that is reportable.

Depends how they interpret the new ruling.

The problem for Luke is the AFL tribunal is cracking down on head high contact this year even if he should get off.

I think that should be insanity ;D

There seems to be no logic or consistency behind how they apply any of these interpretations.

Very happy Luke's charge was thrown out but next week someone will cop 3 weeks for the exact same thing and that's the problem
