So what happens if a player is going to dish off a handball to a teammate running past but sees he's about to be chased down so decides against it?No 50m penalties for fake handballs among rule tweaks
The AFL has made tweaks to three rule interpretations ahead of the 2023 season
In the video below, Collingwood star Darcy Moore is not in the contest but opts to enter the protected area. He must stand the mark. The example below would now result in a 50m penalty as he has left the area after initially deciding to enter.
- A 50m penalty will no longer be paid if a player fakes a handball while behind the mark, drawing their opponent off their position.
- Additionally, players have to make an immediate decision regarding the 5m protected area. When a player is penalised for giving away a free kick or loses a marking contest, they must stand the mark or immediately leave the protected area.
- The third change will see players no longer given an alert by umpires at the 15-second mark of their set shot, instead receiving just a warning at 25 seconds. Players are allowed 30 seconds to start their set-shot approach.
Its common sense. Faking a handball should have always been play on.
Well that isn’t a “fake”, is it?
Yeah. Gaurantee this one will cause some bad calls.
Do you really trust the umpires to adjudicate that nuance?

Maybe the rule should read "if a player begins a hand pass but pulls out". Then there is no interpretation. Once the action begins, it is play on regardless.
Contrary to the way your are all interpreting it, there is no mention in that article that a fake hand pass would lead to a play on call.
James Sicily expected to be Hawks new captain. Isn't he a complete knob? I would have thought that would be a disadvantageous trait for the role.
Good match with the new coach then?
We've been waiting 40 years, but finally I think that club is ****ed.
Theyll be ****ed this year. Mitchell has taken the early Nathan Buckley route of trying to put a stamp on his own team by culling alot of quality. Mitch Lewis now with an ACL. Long way back
