I've been complaining about the changed deliberate rule for years. It achieves the opposite its object with it's having to show intent to keep the ball in play. Instead of teams being able to have a reset boundary throw in 10 to 30 metres outside their defensive 50, which means the players of both sides have to spread out down the field to allow for the possibility that the team that was defending might win the clearance, it keeps all 36 players into one half and the defending team generally keep giving the ball back until there is a score.
Sure the ball is in play more but an endless rolling maul like its an Auskick game in the wet is surely not what they had in mind when they changed the rule.
