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

[PerthBoy86]

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 strategy of gaining ground by subtly letting it roll over (it's usually pretty obvious when it is deliberate), and encourage players to try to keep it in at all costs even more. Yes, I realise it would result in more turnovers, but maybe that's a good thing. It would take spoiling and hit-outs out of the game entirely,favouring attackers over defenders and resulting in a more open game.

It's already the case in most sports, and footy fields so are so bloody big. I mean I doubt it would happen, but that's one rule I wouldn't mind being changed, personally.

how many shit threads do you want to make jesus christ

 

[Topkent]

Is this the same dick head who already had a bunch of threads locked? Can mods perma ban him

 

[Badesumofu]

At least you've changed that avatar, but geez, how many shit threads is that in just 200-odd posts? Some kind of record, surely.

Hey everyone I've also got some awesome ideas along the same lines:
-The GF should be played at night
-The byes should be over one week, not three
-We should bring back state of origin

Can we stop recycling the same threads every year for the love of God.

I'm being fair dinkum. It would reduce stoppages, lock ins, make play more free flowing, discourage flooding, emphasise possession football more in the days of old, honestly I think the pros would outweigh the cons. I know many would resist because people are conservative, but with all these rule changes, maybe it might be inevitable. It just takes to adapt. No game is, or can ever be 'perfect', but you can make rules to make it more entertaining.

Did you watch the days of old, you didn't get penalised a shot on goal because you desperately spoiled the ball in the back pocket and gave away a shot on goal
May aswell get rid of the Ruckman aswell

This was trailed in the NAB cup a few years back and it just didn't work.

You may eliminate 50/50 diliberate calls but the side-effects would be terrible

you may think that, and then you see it in action and it's just an absolute cluster**** of nonsense

 

[PerthBoy86]

Okay I haven't seen games with this rule, so I'll take your word for it. I haven't been here that long nor do I take note of every thread so I don't know every thread posted...

 

[Carbine Chaos]

No.

 

[blue harvest]

No

Admit you can't get enough of my ugly mug.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

If your having a shot at goal and it goes out of bounds, on the full or not, then it should be a free kick to the other team.

Come on mate none of that

What?

 

[Farang83150]

 

[Jcpdragonx]

What?

If the ball just misses the goals and behinds posts, its actually a better result then scoring a behind. Ball is 50/50 in your forward 50 and you don't have to hand over possession.

That sounds very reasonable to me.

Heres an idea - stop posting shit threads.

That's dumber than the OPs idea
