St Kilda described North as lacklustre on their website.

That is a fair slag for a trial game and not something that should be said about an opponent, trial match or not.

You're definitely not worse than North Melbourne that's for sure. Worst team in the AFL by a country mile.

I seen it in the CDFC vs NAFC under 16's yesterday, it's a diabolical rule, it has little merit.

Huh? It's not being adopted in the SANFL this year. https://sanfl.com.au/league/news/more-space-for-defenders-under-sanfl-rule-change/

Maybe it was a protected area 50 m, Mate?

I think it has merit, but I think the example circulating on social media is an incorrect interpretation given he only turned around he didn't go off his mark
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Well I'll be, it seemed as though one umpire was hot on it but the other two weren't, same as some rule about going down the ground to centre half forward to take a free kick?

I'm still failing to see what this adds to the game other than to further complicate the umpires' job and cause increased player and spectator dissatisfaction.

The AFL has a lot to answer for with the way it runs it's league and the downward effect it has on the vast majority.

The AFL's Executive Management Team was paid $10.6 million in salaries in 2019.. That is more than the Wesfarmers Executive Management Team were paid in salaries. The AFL is a $678 million entertainment business. Wesfarmers is a $27,920 million conglomerate.

Way overstaffed and grossly overpaid.

Stop **** around with the game. You don't own it.
