No surprise in the Appeal Board upholding the original decision even if it the wrong decision
I am glad we appealed as it needed to be done.
At least we know now that every single case of players bracing for contact to avoid serious injury will result in a suspension for the player doing the right thing and stupid player who makes no attempt to protect themselves no matter what the consequences will get a pat on the head and told "you poor thing" and face no consequences of their stupidity.
With this ruling the AFL has basically said go out there, don't protect yourself to avoid injury just smash into each other with the hope you both suffer injury and then the AFL won't have to apportion blame to either party.
Disgraceful decision but what do youo expect now?
