Paul Hudson for running between Chris Grant and the Adelaide player and attempt to scoop to scoop the ball virtually out of Grants hands instead of sheperdhinng.
To be fair he became a very good player, All Australian, leading goal kicker 2 or 3 times but I could never look at him without thinking of that day.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Three players being dragged before the tribunal in 1997 for picking on Michael Gardiner before the opening bounce. David Smorgon came out on Tribunal night and declared that the tribunal were turning the game into netball.

What’s the example for, or argument your going to make?

Someone in a discord group I'm in posted an image comparing AFL, Rugby and Gridiron. For tacking the only thing it said under AFL was 'is not as hard as the other two sports'
And while the bodies are bigger in the other two sports I'm giving an example of how the tacking is a bit more 360 with more variety in sizes (generally) and can still hurt real bad.
Not an argument because I'm about the only person in the group who really knows much of anything about sport, so more for illustrative purposes.

A teammate of mine a couple of weeks ago was tackled just near me in an awkward fashion. He damaged knee ligaments (fortunately avoided rupturing his ACL), broke his leg and now also requires surgery for a syndesmosis injury. This is over 35s footy and was by no means a high speed situation! Tackling in AFL can be very dangerous.

Cradle cannon = "nursery cannon"????
