    Snipers face tougher penalties under AFL tribunal changes

    Al Paton - Herald Sun - 8 December

    AN ELBOW to the head behind the play with draw a minimum ban of three weeks under tribunal changes announced today.

    And the league will also crack down on staging for free kicks, with exaggerating contact now a reportable offence.

    The AFL has altered the guidelines to come down hard on incidents such as Campbell Brown's elbow to Bulldog Callan Ward in Round 3.

    Brown escaped with a two-week ban after the incident was assessed as reckless and low impact.

    But under today's changes it would be classified as intentional and at least medium impact, which would classify it as a level four offence.

    He is now the enemy. But wishing him hurt? Maybe that's too far? I hope he never gets another kick, but a blow to the head can kill a man.

    Just joking, no one wants a player hurt like that.

    Heard it all before from the AFL and the tribunal. Nothing will change.

    Re: Snipers face tougher penalties under AFL tribunal changes

    The way the game is played now it's a real wonder more serious things don't happen often. Anyone who says the game is soft just has to look at the face of the Brisbane captain, slugger Brown. Every time I watch soccer players rolling around clutching a shin, makes me laugh.

    Agree with Chops though. I don\t think this rule will change much. Too much passion there to stamp it out.

    You are taking it waay too seriously. You are putting 2 and 2 together and getting 15.

    Heh. Nice one Desi, I had a little chuckle.

    What I still find funny about that incident is that Brown chose to hit Ward. Ward's got close to the hardest head in the game. He would have been better off sniping Jones or Grant (not a comment on their hardness).

    Sniping is a blight on the game. I'm all for it getting wiped out, but this article is really just lip service.

    Yep, you are right, I want Ward hospitalised with a serious neck injury unable to play again. Give me a break, (pardon the pun)
    Making a joke about something does not mean he is going to get a serious injury.
    You are obviously superstitious, and take things serious in life. thats your choice. Alot of other posters took it the way it was intended, as an innocent joke.
