Are there really that many more goals per game than there was previously?
Still makes it a blight on the game for those who actually make the effort to attend.
No it doesnt.
And on the whole athletes vs footballers thing, the mini breaks between goals do help players without elite endurance get their breathe back, right ?
Again, this in whinging for the sake of whinging.
What the rule does is ensure there isn't less !!
American football is a serious joke mate. So serious it aint funny.You have a strange definition of "disgusting".
Don't ever watch American Football - you'll be totally disgusted.

One example I hope I'm not boring anyone , but the game is so fast now that the word hand ball is no longer a word , at close quarters throwing would be my description, occasionally we see a big beautiful punched off the hand HANDBALL, but in the pack and drag down its almost throwing and sometimes thats all it is. Thats one example of pace and speed to get rid of the ball, has destroyed a skill, only super elite players can do it under pressure Sam Mitchell is one , there are dozens of throws every week , the umps won't call them.Correct, but in this case being faster has made Australian Football much more exciting than the exciting code it always was.

Says who ??.
All the the people I associate with think Australian Footballm is faster and more spectacular than ever.
And nobody notices the goal break timing let alone has a problem with it.
It is very rare that the ball is returned quicker than normal to the centre.
It's good the players have a set time to recover for the next play.
It's hard to think of a weaker whinge than this goal break thing.

Absolute bs.
It normally takes a set time to return the ball to the centre.
There has always been a time in getting the ball to the centre.
Are you sure you even attend AFL?

Free kick against Clay Smith for forceful contact below the knees.
rubbish. lots of them are throwing,You realise that players practice for hours at those close quarter skills.
Get real. They're not throws and handball if anything has improved over the ages.

Your short-sighted ignorance & complete disregard for something that may be a problem to others (even if it isn't to you) show that you are not someone who I want to continue conversing with.

everybody notices the goal break timing and has a big a problem with it.

But it is , boring, stop start, bullshit commentry. My curiosity lasts about 2 minutes of the 4 or 6 hours this crap takes to get finished.
I've tried but I'd sooner watch a peice of wet timber warp in the sun. Thats very exiting compared to a supersonic advert called gridiron.

Explain a simple thing to me, Why would Bartlett and Mathews or whoever in the rules committee would turn the punching of an opponents arm in a contest, when there is no other way to stop him, especially if your shorter. What would be the purpose of this rule change. Maybe to create more oppertunity for full forwards to get lots of free shots on goal and produce TV bred forward heroes, why is the back man given that terrible disadvantage when his whole endevour is to stop the forward marking, You tell me why thats a good rule.
In fact that rule when I have watched games almost leaves the backman with maybe the only choice of standing back and watching the forward mark.
Thats fine for statistics . Thats more about kicking straight , thats another problem altogether . I'm talking about being allowed to make a contest, its that simple. Some of these rules, RULE out, any contest, unless the umpire decides to see it differently.If that's their ploy then they're doing it so very wrong. The last four years rank in the bottom six in terms of goals per game since the Eagles and Bears entered the comp in 1987.
