AFL statement: Rule changes for 2017

while I appreciate the sentiment it will be hard to be consistent regarding the deliberate rule and the high contact one (with consistency being an issue)


You know what they say - "if it ain't broke, fix it".

Oh, wait...

to be fair, the high contact rule is absolutely broken - the onus on the tackler to go low.... worst spin eva.

I like the third man up change.

Good luck with the rushed behind rule. Have to a brave umpire to ever call that one when every commentator and coach then goes on to have a crack at you, let alone the fans. But geez I wish they would. Seems simple: adjudicate it in exactly the same way as the deliberate out of bounds.

Cant make head or tail of what they want to do with the high tackle but maybe it is that if a tackle starts fair and then slides up because of the action of the tackled player, its no free. If so, good oh.
 
There's only one change I would like to see. Keep everyone on their feet. I'm sick of watching a bunch of drunken sailors scrambling for the ball. It's a disgrace we laud such an unskillful way to play the game.
