certainly love seeing the AFL all of a sudden think something needs extra attention, hand out some sanctions, then forget about it as soon as someone important does it.
the $1000 fine is quite deliberate. it's so small (for AFL clubs/players) that it's not worth appealing, probably costs more to get the paperwork ready. but it means the person is branded as a stager. i daresay walters will get even less frees this weekend.
i'd like to see staging targeted consistently. but even looking at this round, it's clear it won't be.
