How the * are players going to be able to setup 6 6 6 on the fly with players coming off the bench and switching, it’s going to be chaos, imagine having your 2 wingmen stuck on one side of the Centre square. is the penalty for being in the wrong zone a free kick? s**t rule change this one.

Chaos until 2020 when players will wear bibs nominating positions. Wing Defence or Premiership Ruckman for Grigg if he's still playing.
Well it will be fun watching players sprinting from one end of the ground to the other when they realize there’s already six players at one end.
And the runners can only deliver messages after goals, which means they will have to employ actual runners (sprinters) or increase the time between a goal and a bounce, which would mean they could fit in an extra ad or three.
Guess which.

This rule is just there to have really long adbreaks on the tv coverage while everyone sets up. Umps will be instructed to not rush the bounce. Ads will just run until all players are ready so unlikely there'll be many frees related to this

Some sense being spoken there T4P. I want games won by footballers, not lost by umpires interpretations of non-footballing events. I can see this occurring more with these raft of changes.
Anyone want to try and guess how many penalties are going to occur next season due to the 6 / 6 / 6 rule?
Where will the free kick be given? Will it always be in the centre? And to whom? The Ruckman or any of the Mids? Do players choose or do Umpires wait to see who nominates himself? Will it be worth having a designated kicker and will it cause more set plays?
Don't think I'll fly down for the Carlton opener in 2019 - might just wait to see how this pans out. I realise some people are suggesting little effects at all. Can't really put myself in that camp - look how long it's taken to evolve to a degree of sensibility with the deliberate out of bounds - yet it has still been adjudicated differently every year from the start to the end.

Good points, I watched the 1980 grand final recently, umpires balled it up quickly at stoppages, paid free kicks, paid dropping the ball for incorrect disposal if tackled, tigers played on at all costs, smashed em. Having to kick to self from fullback quirkinesses of the game I will miss.
Runners ought to be given the flick, blight in the game!

Quick question has the nomination for ruck been scrapped. Have seen nothing in the rule changes to suggest it had but then read nominations still required if umpires are confused. Jesus that could very well be from the first bounce
Return of the stay at home full forward...who kicks accurately for goal!There's an easy solution to the kick in problems .
F****** kick straight for goal

Can't wait to get smashed by the umpires in round 1 while they let the scum get away with murder for the same s**t, only for negative feedback to occur after the match and the AFL to abolish or relax most of the new rules in time for the friday night match as they did this year with regards to the protection zone.
Jack or Tom use hands in the back to position themselves will be deemed a free for in the back
Curnow to place hands in the back and push off to be awarded mark
Nank to grab ball out of ruck and be tackled and ump pays HTB
Kruezer to grab ball and be tackled and ump calls play on
6-6-6 Richmond to be screwed while carlton get leniency
You know it's going to happen so we have five and half months to prepare for the reaming we will get from the umpires in round 1
We went -100 odd in 2018, we could go -100 in round 1 alone in 2019.

As you describe I think.
Yeah I read that too and had a chuckle, couldnt be bothered replying not worth the air time.
Rath (part of the rules committee) said in his interview that the relaxing of the 'hands in the back' rule will add a grey area to the interpretation but that he has faith that the Umps will adjudicate correctly.........Top move that!!!!!

Do these nuffies have any sense of history? The rule was brought in to solve the ambiguity problem, because the umpires found it impossible to fairly adjudicate. So let’s revoke it and go back to where it was, where it was deemed so problematic that a rule change was needed.
Nuffies.
Nothing changes... implemented without testing first, etc.

I'm out if it becomes that. Will watch local footy.
This was my first thought when I read the rule changes! What is the actual point of having a goal square now? Just put a marking on the ground where the man on the mark must stand (20m out). Shorty will take off and be at the 30-40m Mark before he kicks now- straight into the wing...
Hate that rule change!
Also the 50m rule changes are going to cause mass issues. Players can’t interfere or get in the way with the guy who’s got the 50, the player can run straight past the umpire on the way to the 50 to take their kick and they can play on at any time and in any direction! It just means you’re not going to know when you can obstruct/tackle them and are likely to give away another free kick/50..
I hate that they bring in these rules without testing them first at any level- amateur hour
Has the AFL thought that maybe the state of the game has deteriorated because they bought in 2 new teams meaning the same amount of talent is now spread across more teams which means the talent level decreases a little?
I for one didn’t have any problem watching the footy this year and actually wish they’d umpire the entire year like they do in finals rather than having an agenda each week.
Nothing is wrong with the game, you’ll always have teams that rebuild and get smashed and are ugly to watch - same in every league in the world.
Eg watching Stoke on a rainy Tuesday night in the EPL

Marc Macgowan(yeh I don't know who he is either) talking about the devil's rule - 666.

"Who clubs place in the goalsquare in that scenario is sure to launch plenty of debate.
Is it your No.1 key forward? A fast-leading type who is good overhead, like Dustin Martin? Or could the No.2 ruckman play that role?"
Now I've never once considered Dusty as a "fast-leading type" and I know his overhead marking has improved but it's still not one of his strengths.
WTF meds do you take when you watch the footy, Marc?

They have literally got the 18 metre goal square rule in without actually having it painted on the grass.
