Wish granted: No fine for #49ers P Mitch Wishnowsky for lowering his helmet against the Panthers.

Some NFL exec probably caught an AFL biggest hits on YouTube and thought if we fine this guy, an entire nation will laugh at us.

It may become common for punters to get flagged since so many are from Australia and have a rugby background. That's a rough game.

Special season indeed when even your punter can lay down the smack

It's also a penalty to aim for the head in rugby.
In fact in most cases (they also have a big concussion problem in rugby) it will be a red card even if no intent. They are cracking down hard on it right now.

Also true in the game that Mitch played in his younger days, which was not rugby.

And they wonder why Aussies are brilliant punters?

Pretty sure the only undefeated team in the NFL took a punter in the 4th round. Likely causation, not correlation.

LOL.
Although tbf, the causal argument would be the reverse from drafting punters causes winning, as it would be winning causes drafting punters: only complete teams without any other holes are burning draft picks on punters.

What d'ya mean burning draft picks? We only took one punter.
