AFL Tribunal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The AFL Tribunal is the tribunal of the Australian Football League (an Australian rules football competition). Since 2005, the AFL has undergone changes to the system. Since then, the heaviest suspension has been a six week suspension to Collingwood Magpies' Brodie Holland, for charging the Western Bulldogs' Brett Montgomery.
