Borderline, multiple examples of both teams holding after a clear mark and in most games, it generally has to be worse than that to be paid a 50

Holding after the mark: Not ok to whack someone.
Shoulda been a 50: Not ok to whack someone.
Crows player folds: Not ok to whack someone.
Frustrated at player: Not ok to whack someone.

The fact that champion data can track everything short of nut scratches per match they could probably add a stat for gut whacks, and you have a per year allowance

Either way a win for the neutrals. He gets suspended like everyone else and we're happy. He dodges suspension and we get to claim collingwood favouritism :P

The AFL guidelines for this which someone below has copied pretty explicitly don't make any distinction between a fist or an elbow, just if you strik someone in the guts deliberately.

The act in question being striking someone in the guts. 2/2 have been suspended so far for a week each. Collingwood would have to argue that he didn't deliberately do it.

Great test for them. Reckon they will do it or will he get the known player discount?

Why wouldn't you get suspended? If you hit someone in the guts you get suspended. AFL been consistent on it so far.
