This action is totally wrong by the AFL. Even though tripping is a reportable offence then why is it that not every trip committed in games ends with the suspension of a player.
This is exactly why this game stinks at times, there is absolutely NO law within the AFL's rule book that states previous discretions must be taken into account.
