easy! just kick him in the head softly ok!
pretty sure waite headbutted a melbourne player last year and there was minimal force ( if any) and he got a week.
@#$%&! joke of a system
Looking forward to the 'Rules of the Game' DVD for 2015: "And here's the force you're allowed to exert when kicking in a head."
Actually that would be fun to follow up with the AFL:
Dear AFL,
My son asked me this morning to demonstrate allowable force when applying a kick to the head. I attempted to demonstrate but my execution was a little awry. While we await for Timmy's all-clear from the neuro-surgeon, I would ask that you explain more clearly the demonstrable force allowable in a game of Australian Rules Football.
Is it comparable to the force imparted when:
a) Gently sweeping sand away with your big toe from a sea shell that you've found while strolling the beach with a loved one?
b) Gingerly kicking a pile of leaves when uncertain whether there's a rock hidden beneath the pile?
c) Kicking the tires (manfully) of a new Golf diesel?
d) Jake the Muss kicks the shit out of Bully at the end of 'Once of Warriors'?
Your prompt advice would be greatly appreciated, as I plan on conducting a workshop with Timmy's remaining team mates (well, the ones who filled out the consent forms).
