Re: The protected area and the new rules.
I only noticed one that was definitely the stand rule, but I wasn't watching intently. Sensibly the umpires didn't seem to be adjudicating it to the letter of the law but I can see some wild inconstancies coming this season.Comment

Re: The protected area and the new rules.
I watched the stand rule enforced in a local reserves practice match yesterday. It's hard enough for AFL players to stand still after practicing for months, almost impossible for a local player to stop themselves from mirroring their opponent with the ball when on the mark.TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.Comment

Re: The protected area and the new rules.
I assume the umpires are obliged to follow the AFL rule changes, other than for things like the sub and interchange caps.
I have heard umpire numbers are down (and they are always a problem). Rules like this can't help.Comment
