FINALLY there's some calls to axe this moronic, pointless part of the game

It's so achingly stupid. Man tries (obviously in vain) to bounce a pointy oval ball straight up 10 metres, obviously fails, then blows whistle, everybody resets, just so he can do what he should have done and thrown it straight up so two ruckman can have an even contest... and you know, actually pit their skills and experience against each other.
How has it taken this long? Who goes to a game to watch a fluoro midget bounce a ball? We're there to see the players in action.
