His feelings were hurt though
Pretty sure if I love tapped your solar plexus, liver, or kidneys from behind you'd want retribution... when you recovered.
That's why they've stamped down on it.
Love tap or strike....doesn't matter.
Back in the day I'd get shirt fronted with a solid hip and shoulder for striking you by one of your team mates.
Can't do that now for fear of a massive suspension and hammered in the media.
Games changed. Strike anywhere...love tap, open hand, whatever its automatic suspension in my book.
Games changed for the worse IMO
I kinda agree with you at some level.
If you whacked someone back in the day you had to expect that someone would get you....eventually.
That was a bit of a deterrent in itself.
We've all had that team mate that you walked taller around.
Afl was frightened parents would send their lads to play soccer so they've softened the game we all know that.
