Michael Christians comment on the May/Higgins incident
"Visually, it looked harder and it looked more forceful," Christian said.
"Jake Kelly was certainly more impeded by what had happened. We also take into account the medical report.
"Across those three areas, in terms of grading impact, it certainly came out as medium in that particular case, as opposed to the Steven May case, which we believe fitted comfortably in the low impact range."
AFL reporter Riley Beveridge's take on the incident
GOLD Coast co-captain Steven May has been given a reprieve after he was fined $2000 for a heavy strike to the midriff of star North Melbourne midfielder Shaun Higgins on Sunday.
I don't think the Lewis hit on Walters is comparable, but Lewis , with his record was very lucky not to get a week. However the May hit and Walters hit that resulted in a 1 week suspension were identical as you could get, and only a bias by the MRP and AFL could see 1 player getting suspended and another getting a fine for the same offence.
