    Bontempelli's hit on Haynes

    ZG1 what I think you propose, when one presumes full-information, but they lack full-information, no one can hold full information, when general law made by few (albeit elected or employed) yet the individual has a discrete ethic unique to them, this leaves interpretation open-ended... and no...

    Bontempelli's hit on Haynes

    You do get an unspoken protection in the hunt for brownlows and premierships. Adelaide should have faced a different captain tossing the coin in 2017. It was not Cotch given a leg-up, but Adelaide getting disadvantaged. *sentencing in the current climate and Chris Judd just said so, all...

    Bontempelli's hit on Haynes

    half-correct. I never saw highlights, but presume one cannot neutralise clubroom player room changing room loyalty and the A-type competitive tribalism which seeks to penalise and punish. Bereton would speak of the insider code, no one outside club rooms would know. Not the PC bs uttered which...

    Studs/Sprigs up rule

    Toby Greene was just playing kickboxing or karate, and if the umpire did his damn job and blew the whistle and called him for the free kick for push out-high contact (+ dangerous contact), the umpires post-match review no freekin way would have scored him down. It WAS and ambiguous* 50-50 call...

    Studs/Sprigs up rule

    foot is up with sole, when the athlete about 2 or 3 feet further back and cannot reach (with knee) the other (usually) opposition when he attempts to mark the ball at a height. The opposition's back allows a ratchet scaffold to lever a further 12-18inches(one foot) in the air (vertical height)...

    Studs/Sprigs up rule

    "studs up" is #AFLidiom bastardising the association football (soccer) term encompassing the sliding dangerous tackle which usually perpendicular to knees. Sure there will be non-sliding examples. As usual AFL *s up new rules, the sliding and taking out legs/knees should be going through the...

    Come on AFL, at least be discreet about it!

    NBA refs, where they know to contrive results ensuring major market cities championship series... like Murdoch and newsltd have a self selective journalist corps sample to self-censor. can someone find orwell's aphorism for me on insidious phenomenon of self-censorship

    The Advantage Rule

    see, if you neutralise adv.rule you by default accept (potential*) disadvantage free-kick rule. *what is this potential in reality... prolly miniscule and just like Tom Hawkins v Hawthorn goal that hit the post in the Grandfinal this GRS tail-wagging-dog system lead to consistent flaws...

    this^ it can work w tweaking. problem is AFL addicted to tweaking NOTmeth in Fresno w Walter blanc. worked better when umps controlled adv. even with Ray'Azaria'Chamberlain. but world work even better tweaked on ice evo

    The Advantage Rule

    no, that does not describe the dynamic. Play has been interrpted, and all it requires is a whistle to be catalyst in the player's mind by hearing this whistle. They have had TWELVE12* years of experience knowing that high requency means play interrpts on orders of umpire. It does not matter how...

    The Advantage Rule

    options: (i) delay whistle and don't call the free adjudication which itself could bring player hesitation expecting the call. (ii) knowledge players do need some time to assess options so bringing legs to a direct halt to decipher an advantage is JUST NOT PRACTICAL. Therefore, there needs to be...

    Suspending players for touching umpires

    It is in just in one respect, but not the point you imply. TH was victim wrt suspensions, at a time AFL sought to make example, a big show, as deterrence. And to pacify the succour moms, broadcasters, other constituents... for their end of year bonuses!

    Suspending players for touching umpires

    Who can't bounce the ball as high as Ray Chamberlain? I thought that was a key function of umpiring AFL games... guess I was wrong

    Suspending players for touching umpires

    how about calling players by their name. Why not just call players by their number. The umpires are NOT part of the game. They officiate!

    Taylor Adams knee to Westhoff's head

    wayne campbell said it was an intentional instruction to umpires this year v last year, that they were to quick to use the whistle for holdingball decisions, so this year it is different. but good points you reference

    Taylor Adams knee to Westhoff's head

    a few things i) tackling was never like this two decades ago. when the sport grew legs and more time into coaching roles, more coaches, and professional coaches, they matured on the defensive side of the equation. was underway in the 90s, fully realised in the 2000s, and now just an evolution...

    Do you think it's time the AFL reconsider the 3 player + 1 sub on the bench rule?

    dont know much on Morabito. But there should be some parallel or correlation of native body size, and strength, to the strength and size of the tendons/ligaments. my layperson intuition says, when you are built as a skinny and slight natural physique as your genetics dictate, any size and...

    there will be no phantom drug that has been the cause for ACLs this year. It is a 20 year trend.
