Best possible result is for the tribunal to uphold their decision. That should force the AFL to overhaul the system (again). A few things worth considering:
- Intentional and dangerous acts not "in the play" or part of the game (tackles, bumps, marks etc) such as hits behind play are not able to obtain a discount for an early plea. A minor discount for a substantial good record yes. I also think a good record should include some allowance for citations rather than just suspensions. Players that are good at getting away with borderline acts shouldn't be able to hide behind that when they finally go a step too far.
- No MRP bullshit grading by numbers.
I want players protected, particularly from concussion, but I don't want to see players suspended constantly for nothing incidents in the play or when using controlled aggression to intimidate. That is part of the game and always should be.
