Brisbane Lions' Charlie Cameron and GWS' Toby Bedford have had their three-game suspensions upheld by the AFL Tribunal for rough tackles.

Gold Coast's Alex Davies is also facing a three-game suspension for forceful front-on contact.

Critics, including Wayne Carey and Clint Wheeldon, have slammed the decisions as unfair, citing excessive force used in the tackles.

Cameron argued he lost balance during the tackle, but the Tribunal deemed the contact unreasonable.

The players will miss crucial upcoming matches, sparking controversy and criticism across the league.

Concerns have been raised in the AFL community about the impact on future tackles and player behavior.

The clubs are considering appealing the verdicts to the AFL appeals board, potentially arguing errors in law or excessive sanctions.

Players like Josh Dunkley and Toby Greene have expressed confusion and frustration over the rulings.
