FOOTBALL Operations Manager Mark Evans will now have the power to refer incidents directly to the AFL Tribunal.

It is one of several amendments to the game's judiciary system that was revealed to the clubs on Monday.

The football operations manager has always possessed the power to lay a charge and grade an incident but now he can, if he chooses, send an incident directly to the Tribunal even after the Match Review Panel has graded it.

Good to see Joel Bowden joining the panel, and a few other changes. Needed a bit of a shake up. Hopefully some clarity and consistency is the result with no stupid suspensions (Ziebell). The Afl need to harden up ffs
