"The match day report laid against St Kilda’s Luke Dunstan for tripping West Coast’s Jack Redden was assessed. It was the view of the panel the force used was below that required to constitute a reportable offence. No further action was taken."
Good decision!

On the slowmo replay, it was definitely a trip, and I thought a fine at least...
this is fantastic news!
Maybe they decided it was more a poor attempt to stop...

Re: MRP - Dunstan's tripping charge thrown out
Farcical
The trip charge was brought in years ago after Foster of Footscray had his leg broken in what was basically a kick to his leg.
It was designed to catch high impact leg collisions where one player was seeking to trip another, but ran the risk of creating a serious injury.
The Dunstan one was low low low impact with no possibility of injury.
Not what the rule was designed to catch.
Free kick for retarding - yes
Reportable - NO
Umpire an idiot - YES

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
