RE: Does The AFL Tribunal's Schedule of Fines Need Reviewing?
Hmm. It's a good point you make and a worthy debate for sure but I don't think they should change the fines system.
In the real world if a millionaire is caught 20 k's over the speed limit their fine is the same as a pensioner caught doing the same.
One rule for all is more consistent and clear.
It's murky waters once you start adopting a fine system that goes up or down depending on what the players net worth is.
It could start integrity conversations like are the top $ players targeted more for fines than others due to their lucrative fine value.
The match payment % thing is complicated to.
Often clubs have the same match payment for all 22 that take the field.
It's their yearly wage that differs greatly.
It's certainly a tough one. You're probably right in that such a system may prove to be a bit too complex for ex-footballers to comprehend and apply.
