They've tweaked it a bit now into a card system, but still a great innovation.
Works OK in the VAFA, yellow, red and black cards. I think yellow is off for 12 minutes, and red is off for 12 minutes no replacement, black is off for the remainder of the game, reported and no replacement until 12 minutes has elapsed. Or something like that.
The AFL could do this in conjunction with the video ref as a safe guard to an obvious error and to confirm the level of the penalty!
