Roast New Rules

[Darth_Tiger]

It's coming up to everyone's second favourite competition the NAB cup. We know how the AFL loves to tinker with the rules of the game for the NAB so I thought to help pass the time in the off season we could all come up with some ideas for rules the AFL could instigate in the NAB to make it more exciting.
We have already seen the 9 point goal and the extended bench and now even the three matches in one. What would you like to see?

I will get the ball rolling.

MULTIBALL.

We have all seen multiball in a game of pinball, well why not have it in an AFL match? In a bag suspended by crane over the centre circle are four sherrins.
At a random moment of each quarter the bag opens and the balls drop to the field while Craig Willis says over the PA 'MULTIBALL!' Then its a free for all as all balls are live until they go out of bounds.

At the start of the game two people (Or three during the lighting round robin thingo) are randomly selected from the crowd and must play for one team each.

oh I like that one. Could be very entertaining.

 

[Spluff]

Every player must pass to Dustin Martin, or a free kick is awarded to Dustin Martin.

 

[TOOs_Finest]

Dustin Martin can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants.

Oh, hang on, nothing new here...


How about we blindfold the umpires?

Erm, that wouldn't change anything either.


Umm, I'll go with... each team gets a Joker card to play at the start of any quarter. At the end of that quarter, they receive double the amount of points they scored in that quarter

lol. yep lets do that one in the regular season too

Nice

At any random point in the game there shall be a disco break. At that time, all play must be stopped and supporters, players, coaches and umpires all must start dancing until the disco break is over.

I think we should roll with a time out. Wouldn't that be great for football. So Tigers turn it over around the middle of the ground, all of a sudden a horn sounds indicating time out. When play re starts we already have our numbers back. Also Channel 7 would be happy as they will have the opportunity to pump more ads in, and Bruce could practice his "ROAR, Tigers Roar" call.

Also i would like a supporters rule bought in. It would go like this. If Jeff Gieshan has coached your club before, and you support said team, then if you go online to the afl website, you can get a docket. On this docket you can put down which decision you disagreed with and why, it will then go to an independant tribunal. If the tribunal agree's with you, then you shall be awarded redeemable dick punch points. When you acumulate enough points (much like a flybys system), you can cash them in to punch Jeff in the nuts.

Oh I do like this!

Pre-season comp is such a wank anyway that your Multiball innovation would make it compulsive viewing!

Should also throw in some random challenges taken from the Gillette Greatest Australian Athelete concept like stick a 20 foot wooden fence infront of each goal square that needs to be scaled before a goal can be kicked...
Also, the centre square turf is replaced by a giant sand pit for beach sprint type activities...
Finally, players have to scull a beer everytime the oposition team kicks a behind & anyone who barfs costs their team a 50 metre penalty and a smack on the buttocks....

Get Max Markson on the blower to start promoting this and they will be locking the doors at Etihad each night!

This one lol

 

[Gentlemen]

The field is replaced by trampolines.

Whenever a player fakes for a free and the umpire catches him everyone on the opposing team gets to peg a ball at him.

Forget the rest....the newest innovation should be that no only will there will be a camera suspended over the ground on that stupid line...they can hook up a basket and Geisch with the aid of another ump can adjudicate on the correctness of a given decision below and overule with a green light, so the game continues.

Example, the whistle is blown, the players look up and if Geisch has pressed the green light its play on...this keeps the game moving and removes any chance that the ump on the ground was blindsided and made a mistake...
The bonus to this is that when there are set shots for goal, the basket can be moved between the big sticks and both Geisch and his offsider will be able, by the virtue of special harnesses, climb onto each of the goal posts and attach stethoscopes to them and watch the shot..this will remove any chance a mistake is made by the goal umpire.

For flying snaps at goal, the basket will be fitted with a super jet stream propulsion mechanism, so when Giesh pushes the button, the basket will be propelled at the speed of light on the same path the ball is heading, actually beating it to the goal line...giving Giesch a birds eye view on if the ball actually went between any posts.....This will alleviate the "chance" that after a flying snap, a goal umpire, when running to the right or left at 100mph, looking over his shoulder, with the ball 20ms above the height of the behind post, will get it wrong when there is no ****ING WAY IN HELL that a goal umpire can see if the ball made inside the behind post.....of course it helps when a boundary is sitting on it at a set shot, but 9 times out of 10 when its a snap thats going wide, they pull that out of their arse and the punters say nothing...

put the field inside a giant transparent dome, no boundaries, the ball just bounces off the walls.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Instead of playing with full size match balls the players are made to use an auskick size footy, would be entertaining

 

[THE THIN MAN]

The designated kicker from full back must be blind folded and spun around on the spot.

He then kicks the ball back in play.

yes could be quite interesting viewing.

Golden Goal would be awesome, imagine the risks teams would take, it would be 22 men running forward each way

if you want a change, make a decent change

get inspiration from the LFL
