As annoyed as I was last week, am I starting to see the consistency here, within the limitations of the AFL's criteria.

Sliding in is a no-no and deemed at least negligent.

You can only get reported if you make contact with another player, ie "no impact" is not suspendable, hence Surjan not being reported.

It is worse if you contact the head - notwithstanding that this particular impact snapped a bone.

The medical reports are used to help determine the severity and location of impact. Presumably "grass abrasions" came up last week as part of the medical report but were not actually part of this impact assessment.

I suspect Thomas will argue that the impact is lower than severe. I can't bring myself to watch the footage, even skipped over it when watching the replay, but I have read suggestions that Rohan had rolled his ankle just prior to the contact in which case this might fly.
