It’s time to introduce a red card for dirty acts.

[Macca180]

There is nothing in this day and age that justifies a red card in the AFL.

If there was king hitting off the ball. One hundred per cent.
But those dirty acts have been completely stamped out by other means.

Watch Neymar dive around in soccer if you want your coloured cards. Umpires hand out enough frustrating, soft, ticky touch free kicks, 50m penalties as it is. Giving them power to send people off would be ludicrous.

Red card, send offs and life suspensions in amateur leagues...YES FOR SURE. That's where there has to be severe punishments because that's where today's gutless, thug, snipers are.

Strongly disagree. Red cards need a specific criteria and reviewed upstairs through tv replay, when umpire calls for it

And if Daicos or Bont do an identical cheap hit as some nobody 19 year old they both get red cards?

We know the AFL manipulates literally everything. Why would red cards be different ?

The less decision making the AFL oversees the better.

Excellent idea giving umpires the ability to heavily influence the game more by letting them card someone off the field.

What could go wrong?
