Re: AFLW 2019 Rd 3: Carlton vs GWS in Sydney

I'm glad Tayla is challenging this. The charge says 'high contact' and it is dubious as to whether there is any high contact. 'Medium impact' seems fair, if not a whisker generous. If the victim of Tayla's bump says that there was no contact to her head, just her body then the charge would have to be thrown out. If she says Tayla got her in the bonce then we could only plead that she got straight back up and played on without an issue, so the impact would have to be downgraded.
But then this is a Mighty BlueBagger contesting... so I wouldn't hold my breath, but as the Spotted One said, at least we're having a dip and not curling up and sucking our thumbs like the 'old Carlton'.
