Yeah, I've sort of mentioned this a number of times over the last couple of years. voice-verified

I don't understand how players can tackle someone and they get paid holding the ball and they've got the right to shove someone into the ground as they're getting up, a person who's not ready for any contact. voice-verified

And the AFL and the umpires seem to let that go. voice-verified

We brought in rules that they scruff the head of someone. voice-verified

teasing them because they've missed a shot and we've given them a free kick. voice-verified

So I like that they're making a stand against it because my biggest frustration with it was you see kids at junior level doing the exact same thing. voice-verified

Just because someone can tackle someone, put them in the ground, get a free kick... voice-verified

AFL level, they're allowed to push them and shove them. voice-verified

And then the kids are starting to do the same thing. voice-verified

So anything that stops with the taunting, anything that stops with the physical stuff of shoving a kid into the ground, I want that stopped from the AFL because it filters through. voice-verified

And that's why I'm sorry. voice-verified

I don't know if it's serious enough for a three-week. voice-verified

I think that's very, very harsh. voice-verified

But if the AFL can start to stomp it out by giving weeks to players that do this, we'll soon stop it and therefore the kids won't be doing it on weekends because they won't be watching their heroes do it as well. voice-verified

Yeah, I thought this was a physical one. voice-verified

Because I called the game for SEN and we initially thought it was for a dump tackle because it was paid very late. voice-verified

So we were scratching our head until we saw a replay. voice-verified

It was. voice-verified

The ball was a long way away. voice-verified

He's got up and it was a physical. voice-verified
