Used to play a similar game back in cub scouts.

Eternal damnation.Quick question - what is the penalty for failing to have players in the 666 positions before the bounce?
Yeah i can just see it now, Razor Ray pirouetting arms up in the air signaling the BS new free kick rule.Eternal damnation.
Or a flamboyant new overly dramatic signalling gesture from the ump who'll pay a free in the centre to the opposition ruckman. Whichever is worse.
In the AFLW, the umpires seem to wait until the players are in the correct positions before throwing the ball up. Or at least, that's what I've heard teh commentators say when there's a slight delay to getting the game started again after a goal.Eternal damnation.

But obviously they can't wait forever. I imagine that they'll give them X amount of time to get set up correctly, and then if they aren't they'll pay a free kick, just as they would in the past if a player encroaches the square before the ball is bounced.

Smart campaignerSorry mate so many smartarses here. It was a reasonable question.
Fwiw I posted the question to the AFL operations manager and got this response:
Patrick Keane @AFL_PKeane 25 Feb 2019
I'm going to need more details to be able to give an accurate answer there @kcorey. Firstly, is the infringing side the Sydney Swans?
And the centre square. Just have wing lines and a dot at 9m from goal.
It's a ******* goal rectangle now!Still need the goal square because you haven’t played on until you’re leave the square.
But yep, the end lines of the center square are redundant.
Spot on! Ahern, Tyson and Jed (when fit) will be loving this!Been thinking about this more and can't help shake the suspicion that Cunnington will be able to go absolutely ballistic in the centre square this year. He's generally more than capable of pushing through 1-2 opposing mids. Now instead of having 3 hanging off him 2 seconds after he gets the ball he'll instead be able to hold his space and deliver by hand or foot under less pressure. Rather than this purely suiting the faster big mids I think it will suit the congested clearance kings - and he's right at the core of that group of players.
I seem to remember we had a bit of success kicking in to a 1 out Cunners @ CHB, but it appears to have been taken off the playlist, is a decent option as Cunners is very strong overhead.
Actually don't mind this. But our skills have to be perfect. No fumbles or missing the target.You basically get a 20m run from the square yeah?
Stick Cunners in the centre circle and set up to kick to the boundaries as normal then piss bolt up the middle and boot it long. Have Hall and Polec ready to run past. Do it once or twice a quarter for a couple of games then when ever its appropriate. If nothing else you will then be able to decoy Cunners in the centre circle more often at kickouts and **** with the oppositions certainty about what will happen.

Kinda reminds me of the 2012 plan which was to kick into the middle to Hansen on the lead and give off to Atley running past, then lace out hit Petrie i50 whilst Tarrant is a decoy.
Can be implemented, but needs to be considered if the players can do it flawlessly at training.
Agreed!I'd prefer Taz kicking out and Goldy and Mackay as targets/decoys on the flanks. Taz is a good kick.
