Not sure if this is under 'rules' but more the Format
Week 1 we have 6 pools of 3 teams
Week 2 we have 4 games... is it still the 3-team games? 2 from each pool go through to week 2, how is that decided if T1 def T2, T2 def T3 and T3 def T1...most Supergoals rule?
Or how does week 2 work otherwise?
Geez - this out of bounds rule is shocking. Needs a lot of interpretation to make a decision, doesn't flow easily, too much hesitation, not liking it at all and the commentators are clearly against it too.
The AFL tried this rule during the Lightning Premiership in 1996 and it was a disaster. I don't know why they are bothering with it again. It goes against the ethos of the game, peanlising the ball winners and rewarding the filthy receivers who skirt packs waiting for a cheap kick.

What I was going to say was wrong, but I could see were to delete hence this message.
My first attempt at watching football for 2011 was last night. It's safe to say I didn't watch much. Turned it off after about 20 minutes, tried to watch Game 2 and lasted 5 and game 3 was just background noise while I was doing some PC repairs.
Who came up with these rules and pools concept? *shakes head*
Guys, I do not have access to foxtel today, how can I watch the game today. Is there a replay on free to air?
Foxtel won't switch me over to the sport package until tomorrow. Any suggestions?
They want to trial so many rules why not get the ones that have been in this game for as long as I've lived right. That holding the ball decision is non existent I don't know how many times I saw a tackler unrewarded and not just for us either.
Where do we play next weekend(fingers crossed for Shepparton)
The curse is dead.
