So Simpson said in an article i read he was the only coach who didnt like the 10m rule change... is it going to hurt our game plan?

What 10m rule change

Any opposition player that isn't running next to a direct opponent. It's the same as the 5m rule now, just 10m.

What if you happen to be 7 metres away from the guy taking a mark, is that an auto 50 metre penalty or do you have time to get out of the way?

And what about someone having a shot at goal and you want to stop them running around and snapping?
 
Just another thing for the umpires to **** up and 10 metres is harder to guess at than 5

Can see myself breaking something this year when it costs us a goal
 
Ok while we are asking questions the countdown clock for shot at goal as soon as it hits 0 can someone run in or does the player have to wait for the umpire? Do you have to have kicked it or just started your approach by the time it hits 0?

10 metres sounds like a ridiculously big distance.

What is the benefit of this rule change?
 
They just needed to apply the 5 metre rule more vigorously than they were. Increasing it to 10 metres is typical AFL stupidity tinkering with the rules

Our competition is run by morons

Whats the difference between the countdown clock and the regular 30 seconds players are given to kick for goal? I always assumed the umpires could call "play on" when they arbitrarily decided 30 seconds had elapsed (so a player could be in the middle of their run-up and the ump could call "play on" if they had taken an excessive amount of time to kick it). Is this wrong?

And doesnt the new 10m rule just encourage flood tactics? If you cant zone off effectively wont players just flood back to protect the space?

No idea its what i want to know haha
 
This is going to screw with the Weagles Web isn't it

I would say you have to wait for the umpires whistle. The shot clock is more for the crowd.
 
A more open free flowing game if not wrong

"we need to cap the rotations, the game is too fast and there's to many injuries!"

"let's make the protected area in the mark bigger to open the game up!"

****en dumb campaigners.
 
The other issue with this that i've seen is umpires still letting the opposition interfere with the man on the mark. If this happens the guy with the ball has at least 10 metres all around him. In regards to the web i think it could have the negative effect of players being able to clear the back of it more often.
 
Hawthorn are the reason for the new 10m safe zone rule.

They place a guy 5m off the ball carrier/man on the mark so he can't chip it inboard into the corridor.
He bombs it down the line. Hawks win the ball back and carve you up. Only have to do this 5 times to give them an edge and the 4 points.

What the AFL are trying to achieve is to move that guy blocking the inside path to 10m from the bloke with the ball. He can then take on the man on the mark, handball to someone running past, break a step or two inboard and make a short kick. It opens up all the angles and increases his options. It's all about getting the ball to flow and keep moving. If he gets blocked in and bombs it down the line, the rolling maul just moves down 50m.

The new deliberate OOB rules help keep the ball in play and in motion.

As for the shotclock rule, that's plain bollocks. It's not basketball FFS. Plus the GABBA and SCG don't have the tech to make it work so typical AFL they wont have it but all the other major grounds will.
Surely that disadvantages certain teams.
