was around the match review tribunal processes, decision-making and the like.
And I think what we've seen here, when you've got two players, respective players give evidence, it's not accepted.
It does start to make players uncomfortable, you know, about the tribunal system and we've all got to have confidence in it.
And that's the most important thing.
And I do think, you know, this decision has impacted on that.
Yeah.
What about the lack of audio and how surprised were you by that?
I'm surprised, but I'm not a technical expert.
So I take that at face value.
I actually think for everyone, it would have been a lot better if the audio was available.
So I know there's been some conspiracy theories about that.
I think for both the players, the umpire and everyone else involved, I think it would have been better if the audio was available.
I'm not going to buy into those necessarily.
I think it's just, unfortunately, the ways of technology sometimes.
To what degree are the players lacking confidence in the MRO and tribunal process at the moment?
I think...
There's a feeling that the deck's stacked against them a little bit.
And that, again, it's not good that that exists.
Certainly had some conversations with the AFL around the MRO tribunal processes through the off-season.
And I think we've reflected in the statement this morning that we said we'd watch it closely.
