Yep rather giving it the flick, they make it more farcical than already is.

AFL rules and regulations memo sent to clubs for feedback:

- Intentional gut punches = 1 week.
- Pushing in a marking contest = rough conduct & a suspension.
- Contact with umpire 4+ times = 1 week suspension.
- Clubs who have 4+ umpire contact incidents = fine.
- Player fines escalate over one season,  not two.
- Wiggle room in careless cases where where concussion occurs to suspend for 1-2 weeks and not just 3 or nothing.
- Players who have Thu night game will have any tribunal case heard before Tue arvo/night.
