After the AFL changed the Match Review Panel to a single Match Review Officer in Michael Christian in late 2017, many expected a more clear and concise adjudication system in 2018.

However, these decisions caused real controversy among the public this season.

Here are some of the incidents that had the whole footy world talking!

3. Jeremy Cameron on Harris Andrews

The GWS star was referred directly to the tribunal after this incident involving Lions defender Harris Andrews.

Cameron received a five-week suspension from the Tribunal, having argued successfully that Cameron intentionally struck Andrews. This particular incident was a catalyst for the send-off rule debate which engulfed the public after Lions coach Chris Fagan argued losing Andrews had a massive impact on the result of the game.
