Use it if you wish. Cheers.:thumbsu:

The Tribunal system and the points system

[thejester]

- The Tribunal system is a joke. Where is the consistency? It's genuinley baffling.

- Rule changes. The AFL needs to be reminded of the phrase 'if it's not broken, don't fix it.'

Rule Changes are nothing new though, they have been happening ever since the game was created. Rules have even been added, then decades later removed, ie. The out of bounds rule.

One thing really gets me... Holding of a player without the ball , taggers are now doing it alot more, maybe we need another ump on the field or the other umpires to do alot more work around stopages. It gets so annoying when Judd before he gets the ball has one arm held and his shirt being tugged. That is all.

I think its sickening the way umpires call one thing, and dont call an even worse thing later on. They're ruining the game

Get rid of the rules committee.

Having a rules committee requires them to make stupid suggestions to validate their existance.

Other day one kid was taken off on a strectcher, was a fair good contest two blokes putting there bodies on the line all legal. We got criticised for not paying a free kick, and people complain when theres no hard contact at the footy any more. Dammed if you do dammed if you dont.
