That incident is a main reason I do not want to see prior opportunity removed, it's not football, if fans want to go see that sort of game go and watch soccer instead!

I'd have to agree. It is a hard game to umpire, and different interpretations are no doubt frustrating, but as more and more teams follow the Richmond model and keep the ball moving forward at all costs, mostly by kicking off the deck, tap ons etc., the game just loses something IMO. It becomes in a way, uglier.
