AFL have cheekily raced in a new rule on the eve of our final

[smasha]

Players can't fake move from the stand position anymore to try to milk a 50.

Just be wary Tiger players as we are generally guinea pigs with these new rules especially when the AFL rushes em in under the carpet.

If someone fake moves is that then an immediate play-on or a free kick turnover?

Play on I'm pretty sure.
I actually don't mind the rule change so maybe this one is good for the game.

Hopefully the whole stand rule interpretation gets changed so players can move laterally more,keeping the distance from the kicker stationary.

 

[Greggy]

How does one determine whether the “fake” move was actual a legitimate option? More grey areas.

 

[joelsyt]

Play on I'm pretty sure.

Then, while I wish they hadn’t changed it just before finals and just waited until next year, it’s not a bad rule. It should have probably been in from the beginning….however typical AFL they took their own sweet time letting common sense prevail.

That’s the question, while it’s not a bad rule in theory and I’m ok with it…it is another rule that’s basically left to interpretation.

Also let’s be honest…this rule has applied to Richmond all year lol they’re just now getting around to applying it to the rest of the competition.

Yep, another crappy ambiguous rule.

What's the difference between a fake move and a real one where it is decided not to take the option?

At what point does it count as a move? How much do you have to move your hands?

 

[tigs2010]

Another rule to counteract another s**t rule brought in. They'll soon need to bring in another when coaches/players find a way around this lol

 

[joelsyt]

They just need to strip the rules back and get rid of the grey areas. Of course though, that’ll never happen, AFL knows best after all.

 

[Area51]

They are a joke of a sporting administration. What sort of organisation changes rules part way through a season let alone on the eve of finals? Are there any interpretation changes that one team have been advised of that other teams haven't? They have form on this.

 

[k31th]

This is a good thing.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Just * the stand rule off. Easy.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Afl is cooked

 

[joelsyt]

This is a good thing.

In theory it’s a good change…though it would have been better if they’d just piss off the stand rule…however in practice, the umpires will screw up the rule interpretation, they always do.

 

[Grin]

Easy. If the player's wearing yellow and black it's a fake move.

i remember playing footy at primary school at lunch and the other team would try changing the rules once we started winning... Those kids had more integrity than the bozo's at the AFL

but it's a moot point for us specifically because the last few times we've done this it's always been play on and when Meatball did get a 50 for it, the outrage from the media was enormous

Yep basically this rule has applied to us most of the season, we’ll be fine lol

It's not a good thing.

If you are your line you should be Able to do what you want within your time.

It's robbing Peter for Paul - stupid stand rule.

More so stupid to change the rules on finals eve

farken campaigners, u just know theyre going to guinea pig us again. watch 5 or 6 free kick reversals are coming

how the fu*k do u distinguish a fake move from a real one as an umpire ? their eyes will light up when they see a yellow sash and they'll be looking for movement of a pinky

 

[Morro]

I agree with most that its a good rule change, but you cant be changing any rule between end of season and finals FFS.

The campaigners are ****ed

 

[Groupie_]

wonder how long they will keep the stupid stand rule

the game looks embarrassing
