NORTH Melbourne defender Daniel Pratt says the AFL Players' Association is considering plans to raise its concerns about the match review panel with the league sooner rather than later.

Pratt’s teammate Sam Wright was collected late and high by Richmond’s Trent Cotchin in the second quarter of Sunday’s impressive 50-point win by the Kangaroos at the MCG, with the 20-year-old taken to hospital with concussion. Cotchin was reported for charging in the incident.

The match review panel assesses all reported or possibly reportable incidents from the weekend before delivering its findings on Monday afternoon, and Pratt said it was time for the AFL to give the system a thorough review.

"I've spoken to our (AFLPA) delegates, and (while) they are looking into reviewing it at the end of the year with the collective bargaining agreement, I think it's got to be done before that," Pratt said.

"There's too many things coming up where on the Monday or Tuesday, it's being questioned by people - is it the right or wrong decision? It does get frustrating for the players at times, especially if you're the one involved."

Pratt said he felt some sympathy for the panel, led by chairman Mark Fraser. 

"It's a very hard job for them as well, especially with the points system," he said.

"They've just got to go by the system they have, but maybe it's the system that's got to be reviewed rather than any particular people making decisions."

Pratt said the Cotchin-Wright clash showed how difficult it was for the panel to assess the modern game.

“The speed of the game has increased so much over the last 12 months that it'd just be good to have another look at it, I think - the points system and the carry-over points as well," he said.

“These split-second decisions you've got to make right on the spot, and it can be very difficult as a player, especially one of those ‘do I spoil or do I stay down’ (decisions).

"He (Cotchin) was a fraction late, but it might be disappointing for him tonight, I think.

"I think it's a bit out of character from Cotchin - he's generally a pretty fair player, so I wouldn't think anything like that would happen again with him."

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick suggested after Sunday's match that, in light of the some of the decisions handed down by the match review panel this season, Cotchin could avoid suspension.

“It is a hard one - the game is played at breakneck speed, so from our point of view we’ll just let the tribunal handle it,” Hardwick said.

“We just hope the consistency level that they’ve adjudicated that one over the course of the season … (it’s) very similar to the David Hille incident earlier in the year, so we’ll see how that pans out."
