Liston calls on GAA to adopt same disciplinary system as AFL

KERRY legend Eoin Liston believes the GAA should adopt the disciplinary system operated by their AFL counterparts.

Liston, speaking in the wake of the GAA’s decision to halve Paul Galvin’s six-month ban, is convinced the Australian option is more streamlined and would prevent a repeat of the debacle which has surrounded the Kerry captain since his dismissal against Clare six weeks ago.

He reasoned: “I think that the Australian method of dealing with these disputes is a better system. They have a three-man commission, and from day one, they call in the player and listen to his side of the argument.
