    Re: 2011 NAB Cup - Trial Rules

    Oh and I like the idea of rule five. It's the same thing that happens in soccer and they seem to cope pretty well.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?


    I have, yeah Ted, you big gobshite

    Yep. I chose my words very carefully! Doug was a genius on the fooball field.

    The penalty is a bit harsher in our game though.

    Our equivalent to soccer's throw in would be a free handball.

    Not a bad idea. Instead of the player kicking the ball in he has to handball it. Or if he kicks the ball to a player who marks it then that player has to play on. Like when the ball is kicked backwards in the defensive 50 in the NAB cup.

    It's not really.

    Look at frees for 'on the full'. By the time they get to take their kick there are so many defenders in front of them they are as likely as not to kick it backwards.



    What they are doing in this instance is actually the opposite of what they are trying to achieve.

    For a throw-in, either team can potentially win the clearance so although there are a lot of blokes around the ball there are still players up each end. If they give a free the only blokes behind the ball will be the attacking teams fullback and the trainer giving him a drink.

    Could still result in a goal if it goes out in the forward 50

    It's becoming too complex. They are overcomplicating what is a fairly simple game.

    Simple?

    You obviously have never taken an overseas visitor to view the game for the first time.

    This.

    Occasionally I try and watch the game from the point of view of an outsider and it's pretty much "wtf is going on?".

    And try explaining the concept of prior opportunity or deliberate in limited english and very limited french. It cannot be done.

    Because the coaching staff's don't identify new ways each year they can exploit grey areas in the rules.

    Sorry not sure where you are going with this.
    AFL hardily the only sport where coaches try to exploit the grey areas. I doubt other sports make yearly changes like this.
    The problem is there are so many grey areas in game. They just confuse things even more by changing stuff every year. If the look of the game is bad then its up to the coaches to force a change with tactics not the rule makers.
