It works in the SANFL because the rule is simple to understand and players don't have to wait for the umps adjudication before setting up the next play and it keeps it flowing.
I get why a uniform rule across AFLM and AFLW would be preferred, but they should change both to align with the SANFL because it is a superior rule. Simpler for umpires, simpler for players, fair, fewer stoppages, higher scores.

What does last touch out of bounds rule mean?? How is it adjudicated

The SAFNL have been using it for a while apparently.
As to what it means is debatable as it seems the AFL is leaning towards a variation of the SAFNL rule.
They also still running the idea past the coaches, and Mitchell for one isn't liking it.
See what happens.

the sooner the Hawks are out of finals, the better my mental health
May?
Can the AFL just **** off with the idea of a "wild card round"?
Sounds exactly like a "May" thing to do, doesn't it?

It is not last touch, it's only a clear disposal oob.
Like imagine out of bounds on the full but it can bounce first and still be a free. Or can be a handpass and be a free. Someone touches the ball = throw in so feel free to spoil or smother over the line
Ah so if someone gets a hand on it or taps it forward or punches it forward it’s no free… but a kick boundary side that goes over the head and oob is a free??
Honestly seems a stupid rule. What’s the point. It shortens the ground imo and penalizes quicker teams who like to spread the field, penalizes honest mistakes as well as deliberate is in place for other passes, and reduces ruckmans importance

It forces kicks to the corridor more, reduces number of stoppages, increases attacking play.
After sanfl did it they went from having the most stoppages to the least, big impact to keeping play free flowing.
The biggest impact though is that it makes footy easier to umpire and more transparent.
It's a slam dunk "just do" kind of change

In general, what do the majority rate more prestige here?? Brownlow or AFLCA votes??
For me coaches association voting is more accurate of the best player.
3,2,1 system reflects consistency but the 1-5 system often captures higher performance.
For example a player can get 3 brownlow votes but only got 6-7 coaches votes… the AFLCA votes capture good to excellent form on a broader scale than the simplistic 3,2,1.
A 30 goal 3 goal game will get 10 votes, where as a 23 touch 2 goal game may get 3 brownlow votes but only 7 coaches votes.despite the gap in the two.

Will disadvantage our current team IMO.
Quicker sides like to use length and width.
it allows slower sides to defend easier as you have less space to cover

Nah it'll make transition even quicker putting a premium on running. I think it'll massively favour quick teams and mobile rucks.
How so when you reduce the size of ground? You have less space to work in.
Less space means slower teams can block you off easier
Might bring back longer kicking and tall, mobile marking forwards... Good thing we have a few of those.
