St Kilda’s Lance Collard has been handed a nine-week suspension from the AFL tribunal for a homophobic slur during a VFL match last month. It took the disciplinary hearing three days to hear the evidence and come to a decision, but the process and outcome might have raised more questions than answers.How should the AFL balance punishment with prevention, will the process discourage other players from reporting and are there any winners out of this situation?

Because there's only one thing better than one green jacket. Rory McIlroy has made history again by winning consecutive Masters on a rollercoaster Sunday at Augusta and it might signal a second surge from one of golf's greats. It was a wire to wire win but that doesn't tell you the half of it as McIlroy lost his lead, grabbed it back, then nearly botched it on the 18th. It's a legacy victory that proves just how far he's come and signals this isn't his final hole.
