I actually agree with everything you've said. My point is about the action of a player that could jeopardise another players wellbeing, in this case the long term effects of being concussed.
Situations like Mansell's is utterly ridiculous.However, I do believe that we can tackle without having to sling a player to the ground or going for a bump like De Goey did without any intention of playing the ball.
It's all about protecting the players wellbeing in the future, and these players, whilst being well paid, have a future too, and she protect that too.
As for your analogy re marking, is not even comparable to what is currently going on.

I saw Picket form MEL going for those marks (as an example) ....
- his miss-timing might have saved him ...
- but if he took one of them whilst concussing a player ... lets see how that pans out ... (deliberate / head contact / reckless / avoidable etc) ..
- not like a split second tackling event ...
Also seen the JVR case that was over-turned ...
- absolutely no intent to harm the player ...
- was just going for the ball as he is paid and trained to do ...

Geelong skipper Patrick Dangerfield was taken to hospital after copping a heavy knock during the Cats’ 38-point loss to Port Adelaide on Thursday night.
The 33-year-old played out the rest of the game after suffering a blow to his lower back/hip region in a collision with Dan Houston in the second quarter.

But the club confirmed late Thursday night that he had been taken to hospital “as a precaution for further assessment”.
The ABC reports Dangerfield was taken in an ambulance.
Coach Chris Scott was unable to shed much light on Dangerfield’s injury.
“He got that knock and he just progressively seized up more and more to the point where, he’s a warrior, but it looked to us like he couldn’t move,” Scott said.

“He said that he wanted to keep trying, but it was clear he just couldn’t have an impact on the game from pretty early in the second quarter.
“Our medical staff are brilliant and they will be providing the best care possible.
“I could say that it’s a back spasm or something like that, but the honest answer is ‘I don’t know’.”
Dangerfield was playing his first game back after a hamstring injury suffered against old side Adelaide at GMHBA Stadium in Round 8.
Tanner Bruhn was also a casualty on a tough night for the Cats, with the young midfielder subbed out of the game after half-time with a shoulder injury.
It continued a worrying trend for the reigning premiers, who slipped to a 6-7 record after conceding seven unanswered goals in the third quarter.
“The pattern has been ‘get a couple back, lose a couple’,” Scott said.
“It’s not an excuse, but there is a really strong correlation around the competition at the moment that teams who have good availability and good cohesion (are winning).
“We were case in point last year, we were going ok and we found a way to win some games and when we got them all back and they played together week after week we hit our straps.
“We’re optimistic that can happen again.”

The Cats conceded over 100 points against Port, the fifth time that’s happened in 13 games this season, compared to last year when it happened just once.
“I think if you go back and compare us to us at our best there are a whole range of reasons (why) and most of them revolve around a lack of cohesion and personnel we’ve had,” Scott said.
“Even the guys that we brought back, we didn’t expect them to be at their best straight away after missing so much footy.
“Even when we have got guys back they go and get injured again.
“That’s been the pattern a little bit for us.
If you look at the outcome, we’re just getting scored against when the ball goes inside our defensive 50, which is traditionally something we’ve been good at.
“But it’s clearly an area we need to improve.
