Create a stand off and see where it goes. Not for just one game but all the games. They can tell the umpires to go back to last years rules or we'll walk off. See how that would go down with round one a wipe out.

Just like in the excellent WWII series Ban of Brothers?

Shakespeare has Henry V saying it at Agincourt first.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Are You Sick Of The Afl Changing Rules Every Year
Hocking is a scourge on the game.
The AFL have been fantastic for the league and the industry of footy, but they haven't been great custodians of the game IMO. Nor has our footy media, which is incredibly homogenous in its make up. There is just so much myopic assessment of the game and fingers in the pie focusing on intangibles and product development that we are saturated with problems and deficits and negatives.
Where is the celebration of the game? Appreciation of the contest? Challenges for players and coaches to innovate or demonstrate qualities we love to see? Variety in strategy?
Its all been boiled to down to Goals = gratification + ads = $ = good, therefore, more goal plz.

Re: Are You Sick Of The Afl Changing Rules Every Year
A pretty good “Explainer” of the new rules.
At the start of an article it asks a great question
So what are these changes? What impact will they have? And will they make the game more "televisual"?
