Australian Rules football

Is there any other ball game in the world where you can go to court and oppose a referee's decision. The big news here has been Sydney Swans player Barry Hall getting suspended for two matches for punching. The fact that in those two weeks his team has made it to the grandfinal has compounded the situation and so the Swans appealed to the tribunal. To do this they procured the services of the high court solicitor who got the bouncer that punched Geoff Hookes acquitted. It amazes me that world soccer which deals with players worth millions of dollars and play a game worth billions in TV rights and sponsorship can get by with one referee and two linesmen armed with a yellow and red card.
When a soccer referee looks at Beckham and gives him the red card he just goes" See it? There it is. Start walking. I don't care how much you earn". Yet in Aussie rules tripping another player over by the time you get over the video evidence, the tribunal and the whole footy CSI case it's turned into "The people versus the full-forward".
I like the simplicity of soccer rules, no electronic monitoring, what the referee says goes. A human game relying on human perception, in some South American countries they have been known to shoot the referee but, hey, what system is perfect.
Of course the problem with Aussie rules is that we are talking about a game where that players don't wear protective gear, as in Gridiron, but as soon as the players walk on to the field they start shirtfronting and slapping each other around even before the ball is in play,"Biff, biff, there's a couple of slaps to warm up the back of your head for what's to come".
If only there was the same approach to golf I might even watch it, Tiger Woods walking on the green and shirtfronting Jack Nicholaus, a couple of slaps and a "I'm going to kick your ass" can't be bad for the game.
