I guess, but as has been discussed before players get reputations that are hard to shake. Goodes is rarely pinged for holding the ball or throwing, for example, because it is assumed in a split second by an umpire that a player of his calibre got it away clean, even if the umpire was slightly blindsided to think otherwise. Gary Ablett is another who benefits more from 50-50 calls then not.

In the same manner a player who has been reported for acting a couple of times could suddnely find free kicks harder to come by. Umpires aren't robots, and if someone gets a valid (even occasionally valid) mark as an actor (see: Schnieder) they will assume on the spot that the 50-50 free they thought was there wasn't, because the possibly infringed player reacted heavily.

It won;t punish in the short term, but over time I think it will have an effect.
