For me, even taking nationality aside (soz Will Calnan), I'd look it as:
- Rohidas had possession, dribbling ball on ground
- Calnan comes in to challenge
- Rohidas is fully aware there is player next to him evidenced by body contact
- Rohidas touches ball away on reverse stick, losing control of the ball
- Both chase for the now loose ball
- Rohidas raises his stick beyond and above the arm of the player on him during chase, and then immediately lowers it
- Stick makes full contact with Calnan
- Rohidas then elbows Calnan as Calnan goes to ground
- Play stopped
The challenge I'd have is that:
- Raising a stick that high is dangerous
- It cannot have been a legitimate attempt to play the ball by Rohidas as it was too far away
Therefore for me, the intent was to raise the stick in a manner to impede the player, as neither had the ball. Because the stick was used, and not say a shove or similar I'd be hard pressed to give anything but a red.
Relevant rules:
9.2 Players on the field must hold their stick and not use it in a dangerous way
9.12 Players must not obstruct an opponent who is attempting to play the ball. Players obstruct if they: – back into an opponent – physically interfere with the stick or body of an opponent – shield the ball from a legitimate tackle with their stick or any part of their body.
Umpiring Rules:
2.3.h When a player intentionally misbehaves in a serious manner towards another player, umpire or other match official the red card must be shown immediately.
