For example, last season we made the most effective use of the Stand Rule, I doubt you would have heard us complain about it, but it was basically kyboshed because I think it was De Goey who got sucked in by Doc and the AFL Media went into uproar!
We've got a Midfield built on big bodied Mids who are now all scared to tackle, we can't tackle yet opposition defenders can keep punching BigH in the side of the head reprisal free!
We've got a young ruck who is a jumping jack, he can get his knee in the opponents chest, so the spuds who can't jump or are afraid to jump complained and complained and his action is now outlawed!
Last season was the best season of all round AFL football and scoring we've had for decades, why change anything, they changed a bunch of rules to cater for dick3ads?
So the AFL changed the rules so our ruck who is playing 2's can't be advantaged.
Whereas the rules actually help our #1 ruck who is playing.
....and this is somehow proof of the AFL screwing us over?
What data have you got to support your assertion that we made the best use of the stand rule?
What data do you have to prove our midfielders are too scared to tackle?
For someone who cannot comprehend how 'hitouts to advantage' are calculated, because you don't understand what an 'advantage' is, you make some wildly accurate claims based on zero evidence and logic.
