I think this needs to be looked at. If you are caught out of position on the turnover, leave the ground and concuss someone, isn’t that exactly what we have been led to believe you can’t do (the head is sacrosanct etc.). Yes, he attempted to spoil, but ended up jumping somewhat recklessly and Frederick had to be subbed out. Perhaps Webster needs to adjust how he attacks contests.
I think the difference with Maynard’s last year, he went up and executed the spoil, before coming down and having to brace for impact. The Webster one was all simultaneous, where it’s arguable wether he actually executed a “footy act”, and in his attempt, injured someone. Again, bigger club, I’d be interested to see the difference in narrative.
Having said that, I also thought Zerk-Thatcher should have been looked at when he cannoned into Amiss’ ribs late in the game against Port and that didn’t even get a mention, so who knows…
