AFL Rd 15 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Fremantle

The sanfl is last touch by foot.

Adrian Barridge labelling SOS the newest sledging machine in the league.

I reckon that's pretty obvious.  
I made a similar observation on page one of this thread.

I reckon Jack might not be the most popular bloke as far as the opposition is concerned.
He seems to get into a lot of 'discussions' ;D

He gets in more blues than Mike Tyson. ;D

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....

This is one that actually confuses me.
Maybe I'm missing something.

If a player deliberately kicks a ball out of bounds it's a free kick.
If a player in attempting to spoil a mark knocks the ball out of play (often with obvious intent to find the boundary) it isn't.
The question is why?

18.10 OUT OF BOUNDS
18.10.1 Spirit and Intention
Players shall be encouraged to keep the football in play.
18.10.2 Free Kicks - Out of Bounds
A field Umpire shall award a Free Kick against a Player who:
(a) Kicks the football Out of Bounds On the Full;
(b) Kicks, Handballs or forces the football over the Boundary Line and
does not demonstrate sufficient intent to keep the football in play; or
© fails to immediately hand the football to the boundary Umpire or drop
the football directly to the ground once the football is Out of Bounds.

Spoils can't be penalised as deliberate, even if it goes 20 rows back.

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

Like a 'corner' in some rectangular fielded sports?

Different, but has legs.

[madbluboy]

The last kick out being an auto free is not a big deal as it hardly happens. It just takes the grey area away.

...and it forces players to try and keep the ball in rather than escort it over the line.

Exactly. Would need some more thought and work but  the idea is promising imho.

All of the deliberate kicks are paid and all of the accidental.
Currently we have some of the deliberate paid and some of the accidental. It's just plain stupid.

Spoils can't be penalised as deliberate, even if it goes 20 rows back.

What's the rule that says that?
