Fog will get suspended but he could have hospitalized Fyfe, he kept his spoil lower than it could have been...
Fog will go and can't really argue much to save himself.
Having said that, i had the thought watching the replay of that which i don't know if the AFL has thought through.
Players are supposed to have duty of care and not hurt their opposition. So if Fog watches the ball and jumps at it and takes fyfes head off, he can be suspended due to lack of duty of care. If Fog doesn't want to do that, takes his eye off the ball to see where Fyfe is and makes contact, he gets done for taking his eyes off the ball. He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. What do the AFL want him to do??
Now, of course how he went about it was wrong, but if instead of extending his arm, he did what peter wright did and tried to take a chest mark while watching the ball....would it have mattered?
Charlie was benched the last 5 minutes of the north game with an ankle.
He has stopped and/or stayed down a few times today and reaching for his ankle, he is clearly not right.
I'd move him into the ruck a bit more and let him run in straight lines for a while, all the stopping/propping and changing direction and launching at the ball is going to break him. Let him stand in the ruck contest and tackle.
edit: and right on cue they show him on the bench with his ankle getting restrapped.
