Answer 3

I am sure there is a good explanation but I also believe that it "depends on who you are"!

Answer 4

In 2005, the AFL overhauled its disciplinary system by introducing a Match Review Panel that reviews and grades all reportable incidents each week. Offences are ranked against a set of criteria, then assigned a point value. This is then adjusted up or down according to the players previous record, and reduced a further 25% should a player plead guilty. Every 100 points will see the player in question suspended for one match. Players are able to contest either the grading of the offence against the criteria or they can plead not guilty to the entire offence. The tribunal adjudicates on these cases.
