As usual the media are trying to incite the AFL into doing something that does not have to happen, and get rid of the team Runners, following Nick Maxwell's recent on field activities. Of course the AFL is ever ready to get involved in something like this, because , well because they are a useless bunch of dimwitted individuals.
Yes, Maxwell does his stuff to try to assist the Giants; and is pretty good at it; but the AFL does not need to do anything more than tell the umpires to do what they are supposed to do and pay a free kick(s) against Maxwell and any other runner who does the same.
If that won't work, then report him and have him suspended or fined, but please don't get rid of the runners. I'm with Bevo on this. We need runners to get all sorts of messages out to players and as he so rightly pointed out, the role of a runner in junior football is key to the development of kids.
