The new “6-6-6” Rules

[Hinkley29]

Excuse me if this has been covered elsewhere, but can someone please explain to me how the new “6-6-6” field position rules are going to work this year?

I haven’t been able to find anywhere that definitively spells out how the new rules are going to be implemented, so if someone who is in the know could explain them that would be great.

Once we have figured out what the new rules actually are, I would also be keen to get people’s thoughts on how they think the new rules are going to impact general style of play and the Cats in particular.

Thanks in advance.

Looking forward to Kolo spending the entire season starting on a wing and immediately sprinting back to CHB as the ball is bounced, regardless of outcome.

Instead of hearing “hells bells” before each game, we getting Iron Maiden?

I've been listening to the Game of Thrones books on audible too.
Makes the show seem tame.
It's funny hearing a 90yo guy constantly dropping the C-bomb.

It’s really good. What a life. His gig in Serbia is an amazing chapter.

Every other minute “Sharon.... SHARON....do you remember? ..... Sharon I don’t know how to turn this thing on. .... SHARON.... is it on”?

I look forward to our new look forward line with 3 blokes that can sprint straight to the backline.......

The devil is in the detail.

Thanks Sticksman.

So essentially the 666 rules are meaningless. The 2 wingers will immediately run into defence to create an outnumber. What a waste of time.

The 6-6-6 will really only have much of an impact on the end of tight games by preventing big floods from a centre bounce. So if you win the clearance you can go straight into attack reasonably well, but I'm sure if there's a delay the opposition will be streaming back regardless.

It's a pretty lame rule, but that's about par for the course where the AFL are concerned.
