Geez for a sport that aussies will tell you to your blue in the face is the greatest game in the world needs a lot of ******* changes apparently.
No wonder fans and players are slowly heading back to their amatuer clubs where the game still resembles what was once the great spectacle of an aussie rules game

They still won't get penalised for deliberate, or anything else... as long as they don't take clean possession and so don't handball or kick.Wedgie wrote:You forgot about the fourth and probably most important point Simon.
That player who deliberately sends the ball out of bounds via hand or foot and does not get penalized for deliberate.
Changes a grey area when the umps had to guess a players intention into a black and white rule.
It'll make the game more old fashioned with contests up and down the corridors with more speedy play on the outside.
Can't wait!

Adelaide spokesman Ian Shuttleworth said the Crows were “supportive of the changes”.
“The changes will lead to the players spending more time on the ground which will be a great test, especially for our players who are part of an elite program.”

How long do you reckon it will take coaches and players to twig to the 'if you're under any kind of heat within 10 metres of the boundary line, tap the footy along or grubber it parallel to the line towards the next contest, but under no circumstances take clean possession' policy that this rule encourages? As this kind of free will be especially murderous in defence, the SANFL is cultivating a whole competition of defenders who just can't manage to pick up the footy when anywhere near the boundary. This will, of course, make the game more attractive to watch. I can't wait!

. One can only hope it is a trial for the afl, because if it's not, we should be horrified that our league thought this was a good idea. And petrified they've decided to implement it.

On the contrary, if it is a trial for that eastern league then we should be horrified that Our League thought it a good idea.
