Despite a new rule allowing negligible impact incidents to be upgraded to low impact based on potential injury risk, the tribunal determined that Hogan’s action was negligible and did not warrant a suspension or fine. Robinson expressed outrage at this decision, arguing that any form of striking should have consequences and that Hogan’s actions set a dangerous precedent for allowing players to engage in such behavior well behind the play.

The decision has sparked controversy, with former AFL champions criticizing the current interpretations and some fans calling for a longer suspension for Greene.
