Idk how the afl work out suspensions or anything they do anymore, but I'm okay with 2 weeks, its not a common thing or issue in footy. No injury really resulted from it, biting is worse I'd say and what was that a 3wk suspension.
I agree that thats the part of the problem, none of us know the machinations of the AFL.
The issue is one of clarity of decision. intentional, head-high, behind the play, king-hit, karate kick, biting, etc.
Is the suspension a result of the action, the injury to the recipient, or a combination of both? But they have lead us down the path that head high knocks whether intentional or not are sacred and wont be tolerated. Giving 2 weeks for that sort offence sets the wrong impression imo.

I don't think 2 weeks is light tho, no one will now suddenly think the head is "fair game" because of it. It was a brain fade and having a 4 week suspension would not do more to dissuade or prevent a future headbutt in my opinion.
