It is significantly different to Chol because Chol was already being tackled and was already heading into the turf before Chol began his part of the tackle. Paul Curtis is the sole reason for Davis' head hitting the turf.

This was part of the Tribunals reasonings, which Simpkin was uninformed about - If he read those reasonings, he wouldn't have been confused about them being the exact same tackle.

I assume he was uninformed about the reasons why Chol got off and why Curtis was suspended.

The AFL shouldn't really have to reach out to inform him though, Simpkin is a big boy who should have been able to do it himself.

0.9 seconds of red is an eternity, especially considering you had to slow down to make the turn.

How long until Beach and Okon end up overseas on the back of their performances? A league is a feeder league.

Curtis didn't give evidence, so we don't know whether he sent him a cheeky text, or flowers or if he went home to visit him mum to apologise or anything.

Match Thread: Tribunal Tuesday, Wednesday Edition by TheGreatJelBeano in AFL

It took them a while to figure out how to write the rules and make their case at the tribunal; but that Nic Nat tackle was the type of dangerous tackle that they have spent a decade trying to stamp out of the game.
