I remember an interview a few years back with Kieren Jack, whose father, as you'd know, is rugby league legend Garry Jack. When they got onto the inevitable territory of "how does your Dad feel about his son being so successful in a different code?" he laughed and said "Dad's always calling me after a game and saying "Why don't you just chip it over the top? Just chip it over the top, Kieren!" "

Paging Joel Bowden.
Saw a good one a few years back. Player has blood streaming down his face, but the ball is in play in their forward 50. So he keeps his head down and his face away from the umps (he wasn't directly involved in the play).
There was no score and the ball was turned over to the opposition and up comes the face - "ump! I need to go off for the blood rule!"
Game is stopped, his teammates all stroll back and set up their defence while he trots off.

Forwards could use the big screens at grounds to time leads.
Example: player has ball on wing. Forward starts to lead towards goal and away from their player with ball. As the run the watch the big screen to see a signal from their teammate just before they kick it back to them. The forward can then cut back towards the kicker at perfect timing and out position their opponent.
Other option would be to watch screen to see when ball is kicked and then turnaround at perfect time to mark it. Players could also signal via screen which direction the ball will be kicked and forwards could lead that direction.
It's sounds crazy but never know it might work.

When you make an interchange while they have a set shot you hold your spare on the bench. If they score a point you kick out the interchange side and that player runs on for a simple uncontested mark.
I remember playing in a league that didn't have time on yeah. We were winning by about 50 points and one of their defenders late in the game had enough, so next time he got the ball he torpedoed the ball a good 55-60 meters over into a small lake. Wasted the lat 5 or 6 minutes and stopped us from our big percentage booster.
Obviously wouldn't work in AFL, unless you were doing it just for a quick breather.

If you're getting pumped, get an emergency to don full opposition kit and walk on the field. Captain calls for a head count and their score is wiped.
Similar to what 10571z posted, and I think the player used was Joel Bowden.
It was in a state game and a player went off the ground, but didn't actually go through the interchange gates and no-one came on for him. Said player then joined a group of team-mates doing run throughs along the boundary line near his attacking goals. Opposition thought he was off the ground and part of the interchange group so paid no attention, but he ducked onto the ground and presented as an option.
You were all on a boat and nobody considered throwing him overboard?

Thats a bit unsporting I think. Kinda like a player pretending to be injured. Remember my coach telling me once, "you don't leave your guy, until he leaves the field, even if he's dead"

Oh, it was definitely considered.
Interesting. I would be surprised if that were legal in the AFL. Does anyone know the rule?
Assume you talking about the pistol but I'd like the stallion onfield and a torpedo let loose on fitzpatricks nose

What's a bounce up?
It was a state game so not for points and I remember it generated some discussion at the time. Unsporting yes, but legal regardless. Maybe it prompted some rule tightening.
