Noticed this in the Port vs Richmond game last night, where two Port players in a row feigned that they would be going for a shot at goal (thus eating up the full 30 seconds each) before passing it off at the last moment. This was with about 3 minutes left to go, so these actions essentially killed off any possibility of Richmond winning the game. I'm not blaming the players here - in fact, it was a clever way of bending the rules to their advantage - but surely there should be something done about players just eating up 30 seconds from the clock when they have no intention of going for goal. I mean Ben Brown just did the same thing just then (going on one of his ridiculous 70 metre run-ups before dinking a pass into the pocket) when the Kangaroos were 4 goals down in the third quarter. I'd really love to see time on called every time a player goes back to take a kick at goal (probably 3-4 minutes of every quarter are wasted just watching a player twirling the ball in his hands) but I understand that won't happen, so could we maybe force players who take the 30 second to actually have a shot at goal? Or does it not matter so much? Does anything in this world actually matter?
