I tend to agree here. That is probably all that is required in the AFL (the send off rule at other levels is quite different, but without the scrutiny available at AFL/AFLW level).Yes.
But only for blatant acts like Hall on Staker, Gaff on Brayshaw etc…
Too many grey areas otherwise.
It starts off for hits like Stewart or Gaff or Bugg or Vickery, but very soon it becomes for any hit that knocks a guy out for the rest of the game, and then it transforms into Dangerfield getting sent off for a clash of heads or Ryder for hitting a guy while stationary, and then eventually a situation like Ablett on Vlastuin in 2020, where a guy gets sin binned for an act the MRO ticks off as fine.I tend to agree here. That is probably all that is required in the AFL (the send off rule at other levels is quite different, but without the scrutiny available at AFL/AFLW level).
As things stands, the incentive (thankfully not used so far) is there to go sniping in a grand final.
Really stalking the Richmond threads lately Elmer, Still not over last week's loss to the Tigers, I guess?Absolutely not. System is fine as it is. OP sounds like sour grapes and excuse making after a bitter lose tbh

It was well after the ball was tapped on, Stewart had plenty of time to avoid collision instead he lined the player up in a deliberate act, 4 to 6 weeks would be fair.Softcocks at the AFL will probably hand out the good guy punishment 1 week and a fine.He didn't, it was in play
As a Richmond supporter I tend to follow Richmond related threads, hardly ironic.Don't really have an opinion on this thread's topic question, but I absolutely love the irony in this post.

Yet to see a single good reason why we shouldn't have it.
Community football has the red and yellow card system.
A Yellow Card is given for any player that is reported for an incident against another player. This results in being sent off for 15 minutes. The player can accept a pre-determined suspension or face the league tribunal.
A Red Card is given for either a 2nd Yellow Card offence, or a serious incident usually against an umpire or opposing official. The player is sent off for the remainder of the game, and is sent straight to the tribunal.
In both cases, a player that is sent off cannot be replaced.
This system could be introduced at all levels of Australian Rules football.
