    POLL: Level of Umpiring Dissent

    With the constant debate regarding the dissent rule over the past week, would like the general opinion of fans in the poll. What I mean by all dissent (option 1): Harris Andrews 50m vs Collingwood Mitchell/Gunston vs Geelong McKenzie vs GWS - punished for telling the umpire the ball hit the...

    Runners

    Heard that the AFL had a meeting about the rules with the runners. What rules/solution would you have with the runners? I would say the runners can only be on the ground for a minute and can only run out on the ground lets say... 15 times. Thoughts?

    Opinion Interchange Rules

    I've been wondering if the interchange system needs a bigger replacement to help facilitate tactical needs during games, expose more players, and decrease the clutter of runners. I'm thinking we just drop the interchange cap, increase to 5 on the bench, make interchanges only allowed after...

    Come on Pykie, are you sure it's a man's game?

    Big fan of Pykie, but a bit disappointed by his comment on jumper punching that "it's a man's game". As reported in today's Ragvertiser. Bec Goddard might be a bit disappointed that he said so too. What would Don's attitude be to jumper punching of our AFLW players by the opposition? Does he...

    Here's a rule idea: out of bounds is a penaIty, every time

    Every time a ball goes out, on the full or not, the last player to touch it, accidentally or not, is penalised and possession goes to the opposition. It would eliminate all these 50/50 'deliberate' calls (which I see quite a few of, and which give the umpires so much discretion), discourage a...

    RULES: At exactly what point does a goal stand?

    I was hoping someone could clear up a query I had regarding the classification of a goal in the scenario where the ball crosses the line but skims the post AFTER it has cleared the goal line. Am I right in saying that as soon as the entire ball has crossed the line it is a goal regardless if...
