We have now had a season of the stand rule. What's everyone else's opinion?

Personally I hate it but perhaps that is because I'm a Tigers fan and it seems to have been instigated to stop us.

I would like for us to go back to the previous rule/interpretation where players can move around and defend the mark but not cross the line.

I think it's a rule that has added nothing. All it has done is to promote the chip chip game. I hated the 50 metre penalty in the prelim against a Melbourne player who moved well after the cat had moved off his line but before the umpire had called play on.

Great rule. About time they stopped letting players cheat sideways from the mark.
I believe the player with the ball should be afforded this advantage.
