Tribunal Slammed for Failing to Penalize Hogan’s Strike

Herald Sun reporter Mark Robinson has vehemently criticized the tribunal’s decision to dismiss charges against Giants forward Jesse Hogan for striking Carlton’s Lewis Young behind the play. 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.
