Yet absolutely crazy though that the act was classed as careless instead of intentional. One may argue that Maynard's hit on Brayshaw was careless but Webster's was clearly intentional, he lined Simpkin up from a long way back and his intent was always to inflict a good deal of pain on his opponent. Still not as strong as the message would have been if classed as intentional and a 9 or 10 week ban delivered
And very poor form by AFL360 in having the thug Cripps on to discuss the hit after what he did to Callum Ah Chee a couple of years ago and was rewarded with a Brownlow Medal for his efforts
