I'd agree with that hypothesis, but if it's true.............
Logically because of the shorter season you have to accept a suspension in the women's season is a harsher penalty than the men's.
What we are really arguing is the penalties as a percentage of the season, it reasonable logic, but I'm not sure you can scale penalties because of the effects of the offence. A sling tackle can do the same amount of damage in the short season as the long!
The lawyers are walking a razor's edge, because this result can go either way. The girls could find themselves getting the same penalties as the men and that would mean they be wiped out for a season for a high bump!
This process from Brennan's legal team could really bite the rest of the AFLW competition on the arse, it's a bit selfish!
