what were peoples thoughts on the rushed rule last night? to me it is exactly what it was brought in for, but i seems i am at odds with every commentator in the country. he took possession, didnt seen an option, then when pressure came just walked over the line. so whilst he was 'under pressure' when he took it over the line, he had a few seconds before that where he wasnt and could have dispossed of the ball.
now it could be due to my bad memories of the 08 GF that i think it was a good decision, as that is basically what hawthorn did a dozen times that day, and i feel the rule should be used in this instance. the other rule brought in from that game, the dragging players to the ground after the dispose of the ball isnt being called nearly enough either, and i bet it will happen tonight as that is a tactic lyon will employ. you watch crowley drag selwood down after every disposal so he cant run on and be an option up the ground...
anyway, i support the call last night. rant over.
