I agree with what you are saying wholeheartedly, (and with what others have said on other WOOF forums) but why do we now punish the consequence and not the action. A couple of years ago the charter was two weeks for this and one week for that, downgraded by 25% because of your impeccable record etc. Now its more ... you fractured his jaw and displaced four teeth you can have this magical number that will appease both media and general public. I think this current AFL tribunal is too open to interpretation and coercion ... death by media.
