+Alastair Barkley that is definitely correct. That is why every player, coach, media personality believed that a team outside the top 4 could win the flag this year, and it did happen
Great video.. a very recent afl fan here from India.. just wanted some clarity... what if a player makes a very harsh tackle on an opponent.. I mean above shoulder stuff.. no sending off? Just a 50m penalty?
Girish R if a player is tackled/bumped above the shoulder it is a free kick and possibly a 50 metre penalty if it is very harsh. A player doesn't get sent off, but the umpire can report the player if they believe it to be bad. The player may then receive a fine or suspension. Suspensions range between 1-3 matches for lower impact/unintended hits, and 4-6 matches for high impact/intentional hits. Thanks Girish!
