He also had to pay court costs Dutchy.

Plus, he copped a fair hit from James out on the ground that day, was worth a couple hundred at least.

Did it really need to go to court and clog up the system?
Couldn't a fine/expiation notice have been given straight up?

That would be a shit load more cost effective. is that offence expiable though? if it's not perhaps it should be.

Aren't there signs at most sports grounds saying something along the lines of "$20,000 fine for entering the playing arena" or some such?

I hope they also fined all the idiots who ran on when Chambers kicked 100, no different in my (or the laws) book.

Those signs aways quote the maximum penalty, no one is ever likely to geat close to that

"Pretty much I was just drunk and had a few mates who got a bit excited and they dared me - they didn't think I would do it," he told the court.

Sounds like his "mates" deserve just as big a bollocking.

I would dare say that would be for events like the cricket/AFL.

I remember last year the threats that every person entering the field when Buddy Franklin kicked his 100th was going to cop a fine (of course when thousands run on that's impossible to enforce).

As for the penalty - the streaker in round 1 got less lol!
