AFL Rd 15 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Fremantle

The sooner they follow the SANFL's lead where all kicks out of play are penalised the better.

Remove the grey area.

Oh and no one ever kicks it out on purpose.

I'm not a fan of this idea. I've seen players of one team take out opponents so the ball goes over the line untouched. That is not what our game is about.

That would be rare. I watched a lot of SANFL games last year and it works well.

Currently an umpire will pay whatever he feels like paying.

Adrian Barridge labelling SOS the newest sledging machine in the league.
Not very nice is it?

Mind you. I'm ok with our boys losing the choirboy moniker

I’m sure that Jack has copped it for 15 yrs about how he’s no good and only gets a game because of his name, He’d relish giving it back with interest.

Not a fan either.  I don’t think it adds to AFLW game, particularly with the different outcomes inside and outside 50.

The “insufficient intent” rule is another failed attempt to provide umpires with greater clarity when determining whether a free should be paid.  The previous “deliberate” out of bounds rule resulted in less frees being paid for inconsequential acts. 

I’d rather see more ruck contests than free kicks  - particularly when we’ve got such dominance in stoppage clearances ?

Don't mind the idea. I like the AFLW rule where it is the last touch between thd 50m arcs.

Yep, I think that's the starting point.

I'd like to see it as last touched by foot over the line first though.

Agreed....imagine a defender going for a match saving spoil in the back pocket in the dying seconds of a game and be penalised because the ball goes out? Opponent gets a shot on goal....

Could consider the idea of "indirect free kicks" i.e. cannot  directly score a goal from such frees?
