Regarding cost of suspension, top 10 draft picks get bonuses in their second and third year depending on performance related to Brownlow votes, all Australian squad, b&f aaaaaaand rising star finishes. It might not matter, considering Reid will finish in top 5 of the eagles b&f but his ability to top up his contract in year 3 by $000 and bonus payments may be gone. This could be in the realms of $100k+ of lost income, plus the ~$50k Ralphy said. Considering his earning potential if he stays fit is almost unmatched in the afl, probably doesn’t matter. But still a very expensive moment for a 19yo kid
Schoey I think you're good at commentating or "special comments", whatever. It was good to have a contrasting voice to King which looked at it from the players point of view rather than the Tribunals.
How can we judge suspensions based on action instead of result when impact is considered, if he was knocked out the impact must have been high if he gets up and has no concussion the impact must have been lower

If the top 2 get suspended for the rising star it should go to the guy that's won it for the past 20 years in David Mundy.

They brought this in to take that type of tackle out of the game. if you go off of the results of the tackle, you won't discourage it.
