The Herald Sun reports the AFL will not bring in a red card system in 2019.

Many called for the idea to be implemented after Andrew Gaff punched Andrew Brayshaw, ending the Fremantle midfielder’s season.

However, the AFL has opted against red cards, with CEO Gillon McLachlan mentioning multiple times that he’s not a fan of the concept.

The AFL Commission is set to meet on Monday.
