The AFL are simply scaling everything from the mens game to the shorter season of the womens game.
Normally its 3 strikes over a 22 game season.
Its 2 for the women over a 7 game season.
That magpie chick who kicking one of the hosking girls in the vagina got 2 (3?) weeks, in the mens game it would've been 4 or 5.
Its unfortunate for Katie, but its got nothing to do with what sex she is.
So the smaller footy used in AFLW is because the game is shorter and not because women have smaller hands? ;D
The whole point of the appeal against the penalty is that it is more severe than would be applied to a male AFL player. In other words, AFLW tribunal penalties are intended to reduce incidents that could result in concussions suffered by AFLW players because women are more susceptible to concussion and will suffer from the consequences.
