I tend to agree with Phil Cleary on the issue, it's time to ditch the rule.

There's a tribunal who can deal with the matter during the week after an incident, I don't think there's a need for the rule in the VFL competition.

If a bloke is hot under the collar, I support a 15 minute yellow card, but I think red cards are over the top. We don't often see incidents like today's in the VFL competition anymore.

The first report doesnt look like there was much in it.
Pinwill charged in aggressivly but pretty much pushed the Box Hill Hawks player over with his hands. Doubt he would get done for that, but it was a report so when he lost his cool he was sent off.

I think there should be a time period where the player is sent off. Im not a fan of the red card especially when the first offence was so soft.
