I think the Francis bump at least warrants a please explain query from the club to the AFL in the context of Hodge taking out Heppell with his forearms with a forceful absolutely deliberate upward movement, while Heppell simply attempted a tackle.
Where Francis got a penalty, Hodge’s action was regarded as fair play and a part of the game.
If anyone is interested, it is very striking how absolutely intentional Hodge was on taking Heppell out to avoid being tackled, although it occurred in a fraction of a second, the intent was obvious and at least as bad as Jake Melksham taking out Jarrod Roughead pre saga.
The link takes you to a series of posts where it shows how intentional Hodge was in his penalty free deliberate knocking out of Heppell.
