Re: Next rule change - 3 points for a rushed behind.
Well it's within the current rules and is smart play. Why put your team into any unnecessary risk? Agree it's not pretty but I don't see a rule change as an answer, I'd propose to leave it as is.

Re: Joel Bowden
They can investigate that after they investigate the 'taking the ball out of the ruck' HTB rule which the Bulldogs did a billion times today without penalty.

Re: Next rule change - 3 points for a rushed behind.
Can we stop being so reactionary?
What next?
Buddy kicks 180 goals in 2009 so we reduce the value of a goal to 3 points?

didnt rate what he did but it got the job done
Re: Next rule change - 3 points for a rushed behind.
I don't see how even an umpire could find that confusing.
I'm not usually a big fan of rule changes but I agree re: 3 points for a rushed behind.

Stop whinging.
What Bowden did was neither soft, cheap, nor did it prove that he was a front-runner.
All it proved is that he was calm when under pressure. Unlike Laycock.

Come on, most supporters on here would say the same thing if their team was on the end of it.

As long as there's no rule against it, its perfectly fine. The fooballer's number 1 priority is to win by any means neccesary within the rules.
Re: Joel Bowden
I don't hold it against him and would expect an Essendon player to do the same thing.
However, the AFL have shown through the NAB cup that they are keen to reduce the amount of rushed behinds.
I'm not dirty on that, game was there for us to win.
Question though: How much more exciting would that have been if it was 3 points for a rushed behind then? Bowden would have needed to go for a kick in and that would have been more enjoyable to watch then rushed behinds.

nothing wrong with it.
there is something wrong with Layc*ck though
whats the story with him?. Was watching the cats and the dogs game.
I'm dirty about the loss but I don't have a problem with what he did.
It's within the rules and it sealed his team's win so it was smart play. I'd hate to see another knee jerk reaction rule change because of it.

No more than a blight of running/milking the clock in the dying seconds/minutes of the game by chipping it around, a tactic I believe started by Essendon against Geelong about a dozen or so years ago.
Very smart by Bowden, why wouldn't you do it?

They should make it the 45m line and force the backmen kicking out to kick over it.
im pretty sure that's not why he is thought of a soft, cheap, front running player. i assumed he got that tag by zoning off his man to rebound the tigers from defence. you're probably right though.
he played it well though. carn the tiges.
Thankfully for you the majority of sensible Essendon supporters have an ounce of sense and arent bitching about it.
A rule change you reckon? Because Jason Loves c*ck cant kick?
Now you know how it feels to be in this situation. Richmond lost a game two years ago thanks to a Hands in the back rule. Suck it up princess.
Rubbish. You'd be screaming at the bloke kicking in if he turned it over and cost you the game. Flog.

If there is a rule change on this.. I will be very angry.
Stop changing the game FFS!

Re: Next rule change - 3 points for a rushed behind.
Lloyd kicks it to the goalsquare and Lucas is about to mark it but Wakelin punches it through for a behind...or did he spoil it?
Defenders already have a 100 rules against them...this would eliminate the need for defenders and increase the need for midfielders (doubling up as defenders)

Agreed mate.
As I said in the other thread, I'm not happy that we lost but what he did was within the rules so fair play.
Let's just keep changing the rules every other year over a couple of isolated incidents...yeah that's great for the game
