The funny thing about the stand rule is that if you were inventing the game it makes perfect sense that the man on the mark stays on the *ing mark , allowing lateral movement makes fa sense. Apparently it was only introduced in the modern game as initially it was prohibited , so for the crackpots out there that can’t get over themselves , get a grip
Like a lot of rules, it becomes less about how they are adopted, but rather how they are interpreted. I have consistently said the game must find a balance between opportunities for the team in control of the footy and the team not in control - otherwise the game becomes a sham and full of frustration to the players and watchers.The funny thing about the stand rule is that if you were inventing the game it makes perfect sense that the man on the mark stays on the *ing mark , allowing lateral movement makes fa sense.

I can live with the Stand Rule if it is both adjudicated with balance and penalised with relevance. I don't think either are being achieved well enough at the moment. I also detest umpires effectively scoring goals. I know that isn't completely avoidable, but it has been an accelerating feature of the game in recent times and I don't think it is good for the game.
Simply play on needs to be called much quicker , few infractions are called for stand , much fewer than I expected , the common fk up which is arbitrarily administered is handing ball back , we must be only team that ever gets free against with umpire being fairly liberal with our oppo getting ball back , three as one in the elim form memory let go to keeperLike a lot of rules, it becomes less about how they are adopted, but rather how they are interpreted.

if we won the flag in 2022 they would've binned it . geelol won soSurprise f##king surprise .. fancy the AFL adding an amendment to the farcical Stand rule because it has opened up more ways to fool the umps into knee jerk 50 m penalties … f##k the Stand rule off you morons ….. the madness that is The AFL continues
who tony shibecci ? voice of the G and mad tigerNot only the stand rule but the dickhead who tries to rev up the crowd. He MC'd a wedding I went to on the weekend and he pissed me off enough I ended up telling him all football fans wished he would shut the * up and we would rather watch a dog sniff another dog's arse than listen to him tell us to "make some noise"
I was told his name was Danielwho tony shibecci ? voice of the G and mad tiger
we have been used as guinea pigs for new rules in round 1 for like 5 or 6 years now, for once I'd like to see em use carlspoon as guinea pigsOh god, we all know what is going to happen in round 1.
If a player faking a handball steps off their line, umpires will now call play-on to deter such acts.
A Richmond player will only need to look sideways to be called to play on
The other change to the standing-the-mark rule relates to the five-metre 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.
You just know we are going to get smashed in this one
Meanwhile, players will receive a warning after 25 seconds of their set-shot, instead of at 15 seconds.
More like we will get a warning at 20 seconds and called to play on at 25 seconds
We see right through em.Oh god, we all know what is going to happen in round 1.

Umpire to yell “Stand” followed by “Don’t fake” x 4
