hmmm i think my brain has come up with an AFL rule loop hole, can somebody with rule knowldge please debunk it?

Ok scenario is, scores are tied, you take a mark 80m out, siren goes, classic schoolboy dream scenario.

Everybody goes back onto the goal line to shepard or keep the ball in depending on your team.

OK, what if a smart club devises a set play? it would only work once before uproar causes the AFL to change the rules on the run.. but what if

You station a team mate say 20m out. run in for the big kick but instead of going for the goal line, you go for your spare man who spike/punches it through for a score?

is there a grey area in what constites a rushed score vs off hands score?

It has to be from the opposition side.

Ahh is that the written Law?

I'm almost certain it is. Every shot after the siren in these scenario's the commentators have commented on it.

I recall Spider Everitt doing so (at 3QT) in an Essendon game in 2007 where we won by a point.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

I'm fairly sure that the score only counts if it's rushed off opposition hands.

12.5.2 Football Touched in Transit
A Behind shall still be recorded under Law 12.5.1 if the football is touched in transit by another Player, provided the field Umpire is satisfied that the scoring of the Behind was not assisted by a Player from the same Team.

That was one of the more unbelievable things I've seen. I mean they had 18 guys they could've lined up from point post to point post.

Yep.

Although phrased as a question, definitely a statement.

Do not buy solar panel systems from True Value Solar.

My inverter was just out of warranty and apparently I'm lucky it lasted, the original importer went broke.

Their customer service is terrible, I complained months ago (via email, it is the only way apparently), no one ever responded despite several (increasingly angry) emails.

The installation was lacking too, no safety equipment and it was many months before I was connected to the grid, they tried to blame the power company but I found out they hadn't sent in the paperwork.

There is a long version of this story but I won't bore you with it.

If I have to buy a new inverter at least I can warn the next potential victims, I am posting a few reviews on various forums

It was like they all expected someone else was going to stop the ball.

I'd say nope. Best to try and get shit like that sorted early in the relationship.

Very wise words, actually.

I think it's ok to stay at home, but not ok to go out on the town with the boys instead.

Cover both bases by saying that you're not going, then turn up later? She'll either be glad to see you (winner boyfriend) or be getting interested in someone else (bullet dodged). Either way you don't waste an evening doing something you don't want to do and what Beerfish said about ground rules.

 

[boncer34]

Nah I'm not going.

this could just make them look like they've got a drug problem and had to get high before turning up

Me giving relationship advice is like the Captain of the Titanic telling people how to steer a boat.
Best to do the opposite of what I'd do.
I'd stay home and watch the replay of the Carlton game.

Brother told me a funny story today. He started his PhD at Harvard a few months ago and apparently there are always tourists walking around the uni, including in the dorms. One day someone he knew heard knocking at his door and initially ignored as thought was probably tourists (someone else he knew woke up to some tourists taking a photo of him as he slept!). Eventually he answered the door and it was Matt Damon wanting to check out his old dorm room! He then proceeded to play FIFA with them.
