If we are going down the path of radically altering the award, let's start with the voting system and 3, 2 and 1. Apart from Isaac Heeney yesterday possibly, no player is three times as good as the third player. The Brownlow voting and suspension policy both need to be reviewed.

The AFL "Usually graded intentional" logic is quiet simple (7th Month * ladder position (1) * jumper (5) * round (17) ) +latitude of Sydney (34) + Top Temp today (16) + Days to go to the Olympics (18) + Quarter the incident happened in (3)) (7*1*5*17) + 34 + 16 + 18 + 3 If the answer equates to...

It is ridiculous to offer him a $1200 fine if he pleads guilty. It's chump change for a chump and a slap with a wet lettuce leaf when it come to his yearly income. It needed to be a week at least for the second dumbest player in the team.

but... but ...Essendon were not involed

In a practice match for heaven's sake - the stupidity shown by Webster here should be career limiting and it would be good for St Kilda to come out and say this is not the type of play that can be tolerated. I see 8 weeks being the minimum viable here, six in the circumstances just doesn't cut...

The biggest issue for Degonski is how to comply with the new Balinese rules for travellers

It would be good if the OP could add a poll. It wasn't in play so I would suspect a $2k fine for carry on like a pork chop and not seeing the boundary. It's not like the game was decided on that goal.... Or the previous ten.

You don't get free kicks in Karate, Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Aikido or even Krav Maga. If you are going to mix your metaphors two blue tiger, then perhaps some research.

Did it??? Not turning up in the first quarter for you caused no change to the game... Just like we couldn't organise a craft brewery tour of Fitzroy in the second

I thought they were revolting! ;) There really isn't a downside for the Crows

Three weeks! Unbelievable, seriously unbelievable as Pickett and Franklin's bumps were far worse IMHO. The grading of careless would have been relevant had McAdam decided to make contact with the head and at worse, this is a fine but if it was a week then so be it. All three results do not make...

The league could look at upping the technology. Using a magnet in the ball and having a magnetic field around the goal (and another for points) would assist. In this instance a wide angle camera on the top of each goal post and perhaps a light beam as well. Maybe for the key grounds at least...

The AFL have taken on board the Cripps result and the current standard of the MRO decisions and will deploy a new method next year.

I would keep the $10k and accept the two weeks and Tuohy should get a lottery ticket. I'm sure some SC could dream up an excuse and drag a raft of biomechanical experts to give evidence but we have to suck it up and Smith has to learn.

Warner was aiming the ball at #ScottyTheSquatter's head on the full so no free kick

How can you as a sports person not ask the question in this situation? I thought it was well handled by the umpires and imagine had the dissent rule not been enforced this years with both teams on the boundary and a single umpire. We just need to nuance this and to allow players to vent their...

Can you get 7 points for an after the siren goal? Is this another AFL new rule?

Hoping we play GWS in round six now to welcome him back to the game briefly before he goes for yet another holiday. Libba would be chuffed to line up on him.

If the three game suspension occurs what is the greatest loss to Toby... 1. Geelong beating them by less than a goal, knowing he would have been the difference so a two game holiday next year? 2. Getting to the Grand final and losing by a less than a goal knowing he would have been the...

Is a single person a riot?

Perhaps an odd week here and there may have made him pull his head in earlier... then again

New GWS sponsor announced ... Amplifon (and just as annoying)

The cost of this to the AFL GWS must be huge. If he get's off, it's probably at least $20k in QC and other staff time. If he doesn't get off, he could be the key to moving to the next week and potentially (but less plausible) the Grand Final. You could be looking at a significant six figure sum...

Exhibit A Scotty from Marketing

He approached Stevic like a North Richmond safe injecting room client approaches the deposit counter in the local Cash Converters Whilst Stevic was stationary, Greene was walking quickly, animated and pointing towards Stevic. Even this could elicit 18.8.1 "Umpires shall be protected from...

Hocking preparing for the Selwood MRP meeting

Time to rollout a version of the Tobe-Bryant® face protectors for the Cats/Brisvegas game...

I really feel sorry for Nick as he executes a stunning rundown and tackle and gets a two week ban. It's disappointing that an accidental concussion occurred however this wasn't even worth reviewing, let alone the two weeks. As others have said, the MRP and their processes need an urgent review...

Six minutes into the second quarter and Australia's leading rocket surgeon picks up his and Howe's phone from the phone storage box in direct contravention to the rules on mobile devices. This deserves weeks with the prevalence of exotics and betting markets in football. There is a reason the...

You could infer that Jeffery J Gleeson QC erred in his assessment that the Bontempelli was worthy of a fine only when the Neale Incident was found worthy of a week, thrice!!! Perhaps Jeffery could consider returning to to QC Tafe to hone his skills and then most of this whole palava would have...
