Yes the dual ruckman at bounces, with clubs not knowing which one will take the ruck contest & the other 3rd man up .....strategy just got blasted .....so what will Blicavs role be now?

No that's not what I said. I simply asked how YOU would measure it, and by your measurements, they've been overwhelmingly successful.

Dangerfield is threatening to strike over it
Pdub
Norm Smith Medallist
Let's look at the NFL, the commissioner no longer discloses his salary since they lost their tax exempt status, but in 2012 he earned $44M, the highest paid player in 2012 was earning $19M. In 2016, 4 years later players have only just started earning more than $44M/year but we no longer know what the chairman is getting. Average player wage is $2M.
Would you guess he's getting more or less now that it is hidden?
In the NBA David Stern was reportedly earning $20M - $23M/year, when the average player wage is $5M. The new guy is less experienced so probably less but it's not disclosed.
And don't forget that we have had players earn more than Gil's $1.6M in a season, just none right now. Buddy would be on more if he wasn't getting paid over 10 years.
Glad it's been taken out of the game, hate the 3rd man up. Hate it. It's confusing when there is no ruckman, just a bunch of players of which one will contest the ball up. Now teams will have to nominate the ruckman and those stupid frees paid for blocking the ruck will disappear.
The set play you describe made me scream at the TV almost as much as the non-calls on dropping ball last year

If you're into Supercoach, makes Sandilands a great option .....3rd man up was the only chance you had of beating him

Probably scared someone would crash into him if he went for it.
Bit gun shy at the moment

Totally agree. They struggle enough to umpire a ruck contest between two players without finding a way to * up deciding if the third person was impeded or got in the way or was running too hard or whatever ticky touchwood free kick they pulled out of their arses.

Yes, but they are all healthy despite some average publicity in recent times. Not sure public outrage ever extends to not supporting footy, as its all too hard.

Put on the foil hats and draw a long bow.
New rule may be aimed at Dangerfield.
Maybe he is a big benificiary of Blicavs 3rd up efforts and AFL want him to shut his trap over pay deal??
Next new rule former Brownlow medallists to play off handicap.

And to Hawthorn by the looks. Luke Hodge having a good
about it. Hawks must have been basing their stoppage tactics around third man up this pre-season.

All Port stuff aside, it staggers me that anyone thinks he's worth listening to about anything.
