As a matter of interest, and possibly also fairness, given player salaries have been cut this year, have the fines also been reduced? Similarly, each week's suspension has a bigger impact as one game in 17 is a much bigger proportion than 1 in 22. Have there been any changes formally announced which allows the MRO to reduce penalties to accommodate these differences?

The AFL would argue with fewer matches to be played there was less opportunity to get fined and therefore the fines should be increased not decreased.

Was it there (Harley's)? I didn't see anything that raised my eyebrows at all.....

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
