When trying to figure out how the AFL tribunal came to uphold Lachie Plowman’s suspension on Tuesday night, I came across some very dangerous thinking.
“When the ball was coming, he decided to protect himself and that put O’Meara in danger and he got concussed. If he left himself open and tried to spoil with an arm out, he wouldn’t be in this situation. Unfortunately Lachie, he closed up and protected himself, and because he did that, O’Meara got concussed. We’ve got to protect and encourage people to go for the ball.”
