Preview Round 1 vs Carlton

[Bazzar]

TBH...didn't see many poor decisions or advantage either way. Last night with the Aints, thats a different matter.

.

Free kicked for running into our own runner sucked. I know its the rule, but it should be changed to applying only if its the oppositions runner and then you "get" a free kick.

Disagree. It might have disadvantaged us in this incident but having the runner in there also means the Blues are disadvantaged by having another person to get around to get Nahas. We dont need to make it interpretive, I like the fact the rule is black and white to make sure no matter who the runner is they should be out the ****ing way!

We got everything we deserved in that case and I hope the runner copped a massive spray.

Absolutely agree.
Otherwise teams could use their own runner as a blocking measure against opposition players. It could open up a massive can of worms.
The rule is a good one and a necessary one.
