This process had become problematic, and in 2005, a new system (similar to that used by the <a href="/wiki/NRL_Judiciary" title="NRL Judiciary">NRL Judiciary</a> at the time) was adopted. The changes were primarily made to reduce the number of tribunal hearings, and to improve the consistency of penalties.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The current tribunal process is as follows: </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Match_Review_Panel">Match Review Panel</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=AFL_Tribunal&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Match Review Panel"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>On-field umpires and certain off-field observers can report players for incidents which occur during games. On the Monday after the round of football, each incident is then reviewed by the Match Review Panel, a small panel of former players and umpires. Within the review, the Match Review Panel grades the severity of the incident in three factors, and awards <i>activation points</i> depending upon the severity. The three factors are: </p> <table> <tbody><tr> <td style="width:300px"> <table class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"> <caption>Conduct </caption> <tbody><tr> <th>Manner of action</th> <th>Points </th></tr> <tr> <td>Intentional</td> <td>3 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Reckless</td> <td>2 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Negligent</td> <td>1 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Accidental or Incidental</td> <td><i>Charge Rejected</i> </td></tr></tbody></table> </td> <td style="width:300px"> <table class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"> <caption>Impact </caption> <tbody><tr> <th><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1038841319">.mw-parser-output .tooltip-dotted{border-bottom:1px dotted;cursor:help}</style><span class="rt-commentedText tooltip tooltip-dotted" title="The Match Review Panel can consider injury reports when assessing impact.">Degree of impact</span></th> <th>Points </th></tr> <tr> <td>Severe</td> <td>4 </td></tr> <tr> <td>High</td> <td>3 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Medium</td> <td>2 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Low</td> <td>1 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Negligible</td> <td><i>Charge Rejected</i> </td></tr></tbody></table> </td> <td style="width:300px"> <table class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"> <caption>Contact </caption> <tbody><tr> <th>Point of impact</th> <th>Points </th></tr> <tr> <td>Head or Groin</td> <td>2 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Elsewhere on Body</td> <td>1 </td></tr></tbody></table> </td></tr></tbody></table> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <p>The activation points from all three categories are added together to give the <i>total activation points</i> for the incident. It is important to note that an incident involving accidental/incidental conduct, or negligible impact, will be rejected and the player will receive no penalty, even if the activation points in the other categories are high. Because of this, any offence must rate at least three activation points to be considered further. </p><p>Next, activation points are converted into an offence <i>level</i>: </p> <table class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"> <tbody><tr> <th style="text-align:right;">Activation Points </th> <td style="width:40px;">3–4 </td> <td style="width:40px;">5 </td> <td style="width:40px;">6 </td> <td style="width:40px;">7 </td> <td style="width:40px;">8 </td> <td style="width:40px;">9 </td></tr> <tr> <th style="text-align:right;">Offence Level </th> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> <td>5</td> <td><i>Ungraded</i> </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>Next, the player is given a number of <i>base demerit points</i>, based on the type and level of his offence. The base demerit point totals are standardised in the <i>Table of Offences</i>. As an example, any player charged by the Match Review Panel with a Level 4 Kicking offence receives 550 base demerit points. This is where the Match Review Panel's role in the Tribunal process ends. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Player_response">Player response</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=AFL_Tribunal&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Player response"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Following the Match Review Panel's findings, a player's base points are subjected to a series of <i>additions</i> and <i>deductions</i> (which are described in the next section) to arrive at a number of <i>total demerit points</i>. Each 100 total demerit points that a player finishes with then corresponds to a suspension for one match; <i>e.g.</i> a player who finished with 225 demerit points will receive a two-match suspension. If a player finishes with fewer than 100 demerit points, they are not suspended, but receives what is known as a <i>reprimand</i>. </p><p>Because the penalty is standardised and pre-announced by the Match Review Panel, the player has the option to plead guilty to the charge and receive his penalty without the need to attend a Tribunal hearing; they receive a <i>deduction</i> for doing this (see next section). Alternatively, a player may choose to appeal the findings of the Match Review Panel, and attend a Tribunal hearing to argue the case. Players may appeal to try to have their entire charge withdrawn, or may argue for a reduction in one of the three factors; <i>e.g.</i> a player could try to have the conduct factor reduced from reckless to negligent. Should a player reduce the severity of their infraction, the penalty is re-evaluated and the player is again given the choice to plead guilty or further contest the revised charge. </p><p>If an incident is ungraded (<i>i.e.</i> has nine activation points), the player is required to attend a tribunal hearing. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Residuals,_additions_and_deductions"><span id="Residuals.2C_additions_and_deductions"></span>Residuals, additions and deductions</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=AFL_Tribunal&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Residuals, additions and deductions"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i>Residuals</i> (also called carry-over points) are any points a player may still have below the 100 required for a suspension. For every 100 points accrued, the player is suspended one week and the 100 points are subtracted; <i>e.g.</i>, a player with 225 demerit points is suspended for two weeks; 200 points are correspondingly subtracted, and the remaining 25 are residual points; or, if a player receives a reprimand with 93.75 points, all of these points are residual as they are not enough to draw a suspension. Residual points from a previous offence will be added to the base demerit points of the player's next offence if it occurs within one year; a player's residual points are cancelled if a year elapses without a punishable offence. </p><p>A player with prior suspensions over the past two years is subject to an additional penalty known as <i>loading</i>. For each week in excess of two that a player has been suspended over the past two years, he receives an additional penalty of 10% of the current offence's original base score, up to a maximum penalty of 50%; <i>e.g.</i> a player suspended for three matches will receive a 10% loading, while one suspended for seven matches will receive a 50% loading. (Prior to 2013, the relevant period was three years, and loading began with the first match suspended.) </p><p>Any player with more than six years (increased in 2013, previously five years) experience who has not been found guilty of a punishable offence over the previous five years receives a 25% deduction. Finally, players will receive a 25% deduction by accepting the Match Review Panel's finding without contest; this is typically known as an <i>early guilty plea</i>. As a result of this rule, players are often faced with the option of accepting a shorter suspension with an early plea, or contesting the charge and risking a longer suspension if unsuccessful. Note that if a player contests the match review panel's assessment at the Tribunal, and has the number of base demerit points changed, the penalty is re-evaluated, meaning the player, in spite of attending a hearing, can still take an early guilty plea on the revised charge. </p><p>The final offence score is thus calculated from this series of discrete steps: </p> <ul><li>Residual (from prior offence(s))</li> <li>Base Score (from Match Review Panel); this is doubled for a Grand Final offence</li> <li>Loading (for poor record)</li> <li>Good Record Deduction</li> <li>Early Guilty Plea Deduction</li></ul> <p>Each addition or deduction is made to the final result of the previous calculation step. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Grand_Final_penalties">Grand Final penalties</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=AFL_Tribunal&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Grand Final penalties"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Any reportable offence that occurs during a <a href="/wiki/AFL_Grand_Final" title="AFL Grand Final">Grand Final</a> match will receive a <i>double penalty</i>: the offence's original base score as determined by the Match Review Panel is doubled after the additions and deductions previously mentioned.

As for physical offences, a player can accept his penalty with an early guilty plea, receiving a 25% reduction in his fine, or he may contest it and risk the full penalty. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Appeals_Board">Appeals Board</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=AFL_Tribunal&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Appeals Board"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>If a player or the AFL wishes to appeal against a decision handed down in a tribunal hearing, it may take the case to the AFL Appeals Board.

/> <sup>2</sup> Taylor was suspended for the rest of the 2020 season (six matches) for violating the AFL's COVID protocols. During this suspension, he was charged with assaulting his girlfriend by police; Taylor pleaded guilty to the charges and was suspended for all of 2021. Since Sydney had deregistered him prior to his second suspension, Taylor was not officially listed as a player at the time of his second suspension. <br /> <sup>3</sup> Cousins was suspended for a period of twelve months for "bringing the game into disrepute", equating to 22 matches. Since <a href="/wiki/West_Coast_Eagles" title="West Coast Eagles">West Coast</a> had deregistered him prior to his suspension, Cousins was not officially listed as a player at the time of his suspension. <br /> <sup>4</sup> Stephenson's suspension was backdated, meaning he only missed ten matches, having been provisionally suspended. <br /> <sup>5</sup> Baxter was later exonerated on appeal due to mistaken identity. <br /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Not_listed_above">Not listed above</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=AFL_Tribunal&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Not listed above"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/John_Bourke_(Australian_footballer)" title="John Bourke (Australian footballer)">John Bourke (Australian footballer)</a></div> <p>One noteworthy suspension imposed by the VFL/AFL Tribunal was against <a href="/wiki/John_Bourke_(Australian_footballer)" title="John Bourke (Australian footballer)">John Bourke</a> of the Collingwood Reserves: this is not listed above because Bourke was not a member of a senior team. </p><p>In an outburst broadcast on Australia's <a href="/wiki/Seven_Network" title="Seven Network">Seven Network</a> on 28 April 1985, Bourke kicked Sydney Swans Reserves ruckman Patrick Foy in the groin in response to Foy tagging him throughout the game.
