Tribunal and MRP

Shiel copped one game for the push that nearly killed his teammate. Weird one in that the injured player was a teammate, but the AFL are starting to slowly realise the danger of this trend of pushing players into a contest (after mucking it up preseason/early season).

In my day (yeah I get it)……..you did whatever you could verbally and physically to maim players within the rules of the day. With the latter it was less of an issue due to the lack of athleticism in the game and the level I was playing.

At the level I played the players today are insanely more athletic, going up the levels to AFL and it’s just too dangerous. Players genuinely need to have the duty of care. Sheil knew exactly what he was doing and if he denies it he’s a dinosaur.
