We all whinge and moan about umpiring and the new rules that filter in on a yearly basis, why don't we start thinking how to make the game easier to umpire? And maybe get a few more kids playing as well.
1: abolish the throwing the ball rule, make it open slather, why do we care so much about handballs? There are at least a dozen throws not paid every game, makes it easier for umpires and makes it easier for imports-kids taking up the sport.
2: Bouncing the ball, why are we doing this? What purpose does it serve? Would make our game much easier for imports.
3: If the ball hits the post and goes through the goals it's a goal, would make life much easier for goal umpires especially in the lower ranks and rid us of ridiculous reviews at the top level.
4: Incidental touches that go through the goals to remain a goal, see above.
