Yeah, it's harsh on Greene. As Jazz says, the other bloke must bear responsibility for putting himself in harm's way. Remember this incident:
This kind of stuff used to happen semi-regularly, maybe not to the extent that Lewis was ko'd, but the foolhardiness of running back without looking was lauded as courageous, and anyone who looked or pulled out was derided as a squib. I think that attitude's changing, as it should. No one wants to see this.
Have a look. Look after yourself. It's not cowardice, it's self-preservation. Use your brain, to look after it.
On the p!ss clearing Hogan....I laugh. Admittedly, nothing in it as it wasn't even a slap to the face, but you'd think his action as we've seen with others in the past would at least cause a fine.
It's a 360 degree game, you are permitted to attack the ball from any direction you like. There was only one of two players that made the effort to reach out and attempt to mark the ball. Toby on the other hand had his arms folded across his chest as he approached the contest and then turned and tucked the shoulder in, refused to make any attempt to mark the ball.
How on earth is Higgins supposed to be responsible for Allir kicking the ball in a tackle? Cooked!!!
How long until Australian Rules football becomes a non contact sport like basketball or soccer? Ten years?
I honestly now believe this is where it’s going.

The fear of litigation re concussion is reshaping the game so quickly.
This generation of players that have grown up playing a certain way are being punished hard for things they would consider basic football actions.
The next gen of footballers will play the game very differently assuming there is one.

Thought 2 weeks tops.
Ross is going to blow his belt buckle off his pants tonight
Bit harsh the poor little Higlet copping 3 weeks. Reckon I'd be challenging that Allir contributed to the impact by throwing himself off balance by attempting to kick while tackled and refusing to use his free arm to protect himself. Duty of care goes both ways in my book.
Hope the saints contest this, it's unfortunate aliir got a concussion but Higgins was just trying to tackle the bigger player. It was a football action.
Yep, stupid as expected from these clowns. Appeal and just get 1 week at the worst. Too obvious Aliir played into that tackle....and got himself concussed.
Good discussion point
Bear in mind that the game of the 2020's is very different from the 1980's and even that was different to the 1960's (just to pick decades when Richmond won flags)
Will the actual difference between today's game and that of the next generation in (say) the 2040's be any more or less that between those other other generations - such as above?
I certainly don't know and can't say I'm looking forward to what might happen either - but some changes are inevitable
Already its strange to watch players, skilled smart players, get halfway through a tackle then ease back, and sometimes almost put the tackled oppo player to bed and tuck them in.
Some of the next gen like Daicos, Harley Reid, Butters, Rozee, both Ashcrofts, Ginnivan et al drop their knees to cause high contact. For all the talk of Reid as the new don't argue master, he performs this b!tch act in preference three times as often.
They do it because they're incentivised to. Get to the ball first, drop your knees, arch your back and headbutt your opponent's arm and we'll look after you. Classic *Dusty Moment*.

its a fine for a Geelong player.
other than wave Allir past, I dont know what Higgins was suppose to do?
95kg bloke attempting to cannon past a 75kg bloke,
little bloke hangs off big bloke, big blokes momentum results in concussion.
The AFL might tick off 1/E=MC2?
