interesting how the afl reduce the mrp to 1 single person (+ 1 afl oversighter) in order to get consistency in judgement and punishment then have a tribunal with an advocate and a jury of three, all of which changed from one week to the next on a hearing of virtually the same unusual charge. consistency, not
for the record i don't think any of the 4 umpire handling charges were really severe enough to warrant a suspension (fine, yes)
but the afl process can't set the bar one week and then raise it the next without criticism
