    Just to expand on that thought we could put a big metal ring between the goal post and may be put a net on it and they have to get the ball through the ring for 6 points and if they shot out side the 50 m arch they get in the net 9 points.

    It's not just changing rules.

    It's changing interpretations of rules mid-season which is a massive issue.

    Strongly Strongly Disagree.

    The initial tackle was not high. Pickett made it slip up by his action and it looked way worse than it actually was.

    In attempting to evade the legal tackle I believe that Pickett used his prior opportunity and it was either a free against Pickett or simply play on, with play on being the best option.

    Unfortunately the ump is most likely to call this high due to the speed of the game and the difficulty to adjudicate.

    The penalty for Pickett (plus Ginnivan and Weightman et al) is that subsequent matches are likely to seem him not paid frees that are warranted. This is already happening to Weightman who stills plays for too many.

    Often it is mid-game (ie: put the whistle away in the last qtr) and definitely it happens mid-round - Friday nights are umpired vastly differently to the off-broadway 4.35pm Saturday and 4.40pm Sunday timeslots for example

    Cody seems to be more of a diver than a ducker recently.

    Yeah Cody has a way deeper diving kit bag than those other guys he’ll be fine.

    Re: Are You Sick Of The Afl Changing Rules Every Year

    I always thought it was on the tackler to go low and not try to pin the arms, else they risk being drawn high

    I didn’t like the optics of McLean playing for a free being the last play of our GF win, I thought the rule would change after that, I’m surprised it took so long
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    Won't be long and our rules will be very similar to Gaelic Football, where you can't go to ground and pickup the ball.

    Our game was built on the ball getter being rewarded not the tacklers.

    The hysteria is ridiculous.

    Improve your tackling. Or, here's a novel idea, get to the ball first.


    That being said, I think the sliding rule, the treatment of incidental head high contact, and the length of time it takes for the umpires to blow the whistle all have contributed to the farce.

    Looks like Bevo will be inviting Damo down to the Yarraville nets...

    I find this a strange stance from someone who wants to do away with prior opportunity. That would be the ultimate in punishing the ball winner and rewarding the tackler for being second to the ball.

    I agree with Damo, I'm over Bevo being angry at the AFL. I just want to hear him talk about the Bulldogs. Not saying never, but don't take the angry pills every time there's a change.

    It is never gonna stop being weird to me that the AFL publishes that article on their own website.
