Adrain Anderson (St Kilda) continues his defence for Webster, saying the punishment is out of proportion.

“The need to protect players for head injuries is not suddenly a new phenomenon in 2024,” he said.

“These are the standards that are evolving over a period of 20 years.”

Anderson says this potential punishment is “massive”.

“What is a massive, sudden shift in sanction, which is out of whack with the evolution over time,” he said.

“St Kilda and Jimmy Webster support … the standards change over time.

“There’s no need for that specific deterrance, but it needs to be proportionate.”
