Analysis Would the stand rule still have been introduced if Geelong had won the 2020 premiership?

[STPer18]

If you could only pick one, what gets under the skin of you Tiggies more, the stand rule or the score review ARC? Both are a sour point, but which one really gets you guys hot under the collar? The stand rule was great but I feel the ARC after the events of the elim final may have surpassed it.

Both minor nuisances. Neither come close to the pain we inflicted on Geelong by smashing you in 3 finals on the way to the 3 flags that caused the Geelong meltdown that precipitated the introduction of the stand rule in the first place. I mean you gotta be messed up pretty bad to have to go to those lengths to try to stop the Tigernaut.

So all it took to stop this Tigernaut and have them humiliate themselves in finals - provided they qualify - is not allowing the man on the mark to move? We've seen powerful teams be taken down by new tactics or plain old father time, but getting done in by the man on the mark rule is probably the most pathetic way to go out.

Um, those types of kicks are the most indefensible . There isn’t a marking contest and it’s in front of the guy on the lead. Chest to head height level.

Yeah I’ve played with mates, but not in a league or anything. Pretty sure the rules are the same no?

Their fans won’t stand for that.

A pile of chicken s**t delivered to Punt Road and/or a whole lot of excuses. So just the usual.

Who will they blame though?

It took them 2 years to attribute failure to the stand rule. We may have to wait until 2024 for the next instalment

Stand rule way worse in my opinion. I remember reading an article in the Age before season 2022 where the lifeblood of the game (the fans) wanted the statue on the mark rule scrapped, but the AFL not giving a sh*t what the fans wanted went ahead and kept it anyway, we all know why.

 

[Shai]

Oh the AFL gives a damn, only when it coincides with the outcome they want.

Tigers fanatics should be bowing to the ground.

 

[STPer18]

we all know why.

Hocking and Geelong, right?

I'll let all you Geelong supporters know that we've won 13 flags to your 10 (or 11), just like Carlton supporters let us all know that they've got 16 and none since '95 lol!

Brutal post. You lot the lamest Premiership trolls ever. Much better suited when you were all deliriously happy “just making finals” each year.

So, like Richmond 1983 to 2016 you mean?

 

[Falcon3518]

Oh wow

You’re posting again? Ewww

This is the first time I have seen fans from the Premiership club so rattled before even the next pre-season has commenced.

Badly stained Premiership though, so probably understandable.

Listen, the AFL know that scoring averages in '21 and '22 did not surpass '17. It is a fact that the AFL was complaing about scoring in 2017, so if intention for bringing in the statue on the mark rule was to increase scoring then the rule is a failure, but if the intention was to try stop Richmond by prompting/assisting Geelong in moving the ball quicker rather then wait for Geelong to come up with a plan on their own, then it was a success.

I believe that when the AFL sycophant media were seen talking up this season (more than even the '21 season) that had lower scoring than in 2017 that that was the proof why the statue on the mark rule was brought in and deemed a success, and also the reason it was kept after '21 against the wishes of the lifeblood of the game (the fans).

Say that again: Geelong had a 40 season Premiership drought in my lifetime, dwarfing Richmond’s minor 36 year hiatus.



Boxhead, honestly. I expect better troll queries from you.

TLDR = it's a Geelong/Hocking/Whateley conspiracy why the little Tiggies are experiencing a finals win drought again.

Do we really need to bring up your 44 year drought? Don’t keep punishing yourselves, we beat you in literally everything and you know it.

So more of your life has been wasted supporting a team that has been the very definition of mediocre.
Thanks for confirming that Boomer
