new rule was behind Byrne Jones and ran in front of him to impede him so he couldn’t kick it and play on during the 50 so harsh penalty but it’s what we need to expect now
The Power had the better of the third term leading effective kicks (56-29) and marks (49-26). Port Adelaide did not get full reward for its ball control returning 3.4.(22) to 2.1.(13) in that quarter.
I'm okay with that double-50. That was what I understood the rule to be. The bloke on the mark, shouldn't be within the zone once the player with the ball gets in front of him. It stops him from playing on.
Nice footy to watch. More than once we’ve moved the ball from the defence to the forward line with quick direct movement without the Kangas touching the football. That game style will bring back the fans
