New Rules for 2016

Main points:

1. Any player who kicks or handballs the ball without it being touched will have a free kick paid against.

I can really see this being exploited big time, or it being the deciding factor on the result of a game if it's close. Mind you SANFL Umpires display higher levels of intelligence than AFL Umpires and woudn't completely fudge a decision.

2. Interchange at 50 per game plus 3 at every break.

Thoughts?

sorry u missed a few words

1. A free kick will be paid against the team which kicks or handballs the ball out of bounds without being touched, even if it bounces inside the boundary line.

Players who spoil, tap or carry the ball over the line will not be penalised, provided the action is not deemed deliberate under the current rules.

I'd expect a lot of players to leave the league as a result.

What lunacy.

Mind you they said that interchanges had risen from 34 to 90. If they were as low as 34, then 50 may be appropriate halfway point.

The interchange rule is almost irrelivent when compared to the out of bounds change.

Absolutely ridiculous
Laughing stock of a league

WTF is this s**t. Absolutely stupid stuff from the morons at the SANFL which fundamentally changes what the game is.
