Look at the hairstyles of players right now and tell me they wouldn't look better with their head shaved (Geelong's list, Bulldogs, Collingwood etc etc).

The AFL stepped in and made players wear proper suits/tuxedos for the Brownlow. Maybe they need some haircut rules too.

We are down to maybe 4 or 5 aensible haircuts per team now.
 
There are 2 completely different sets of rules.

Forwards can kick 10m and marks are called and can lay tackles and get HTB, defenders need to kick it 20m and rarely get frees against forwards.

The AFL simply doesnt care how it looks, they desperately want more goals and will do whatever it takes to get them.
Totally agree. The 15 m kicking rule is farcical at the moment. Follow the money theory applies here. More goals = more ads = more tv contract money.

Everything wrong with football right there in that Elliott free 50 and goal

Jiath tackled immediately but free paid against

Then a super soft 50 which leads to a goal 10m out

Infuriatingly incompetent

The proxy holding the ball decisions - where a player is penalised with minimal prior opportunity as they struggle to gather a terrible kick or handball from their teammate - is debatable.

The 50, as far as I'm concerned, was there. Jiath was clearly wasting time and in that position on the ground, giving his defenders 3-5 more seconds to set up for the deep inside 50 is a significant unfair advantage.
 
I think everyone can put the Darcy Cameron talk to bed, Lloyd Meek adding himself to the list of 7 that are better than him.

People saying 50 is too harsh for that probably don't realise that's been the rule for over 50 years.

Of course if you break the rules in the event of a free already given, a further infringement occurs (50).

You know what's easier? Giving the ball back.



You're a bit late mate. Learn the rules.
😂 was no such thing as 50 mtrs , 50 years ago .

Look at Pendles. That's a haircut you can set your watch to!
