AFL players to get EFF'd

Adrian McCarthey Anderson today announced new rules for rough conduct meaning player tackles will now be rated for Excessive Force Factor (or EFF). Umpires will now judge the EFF out of all player tackles and those with an EFF of 75% or more will be deemed as rough play and a free kick given against the tackler. The player will also be reported. The umpire will call "you have been EFF'd" and indicate the offence by raising 2 fingers in the air. The new Effing rule will apply from Round 8 2011.

He said that the AFL had a duty of care to eradicate rough play from the game and offenders will get EFF'ed

I feel you are being sarcastic, and hope that my feelings are correct, otherwise our game is in serious trouble. The biggest worry is that it wouldn't surprise me for Anderson to do something so ridiculous.

    I have no doubt this was the case. Little Bruce was a bit apprehensive that he had let the proverbial "cat out of the bag" during the commentary, Dennis had to extract the info out of him.

    I think Neil Craig spends most of his time these days making DVD's he could get a job in the San Fernando Valley...how was his "toughness" press conference last week??? Dead man walking

    Neil Craig is currently treading water, waiting for and protecting, through their transition from boys to men, his young flock.

    Not dissimilar to Our boy Bailey...

    This is a dangerous time for coaches as they have to wait for the players to "Catch Up" to the game, after releasing experienced players from the club, to inject 'Youth'...

    No no, it was genuine. Truly

    Like I said in another post, there is nothing so inflexible as a bureaucratic mind on a crusade. The AFL are determined to make an example of this incident in their crusade (and there is certainly a crusading doctor involved, who may well have allowed Dangerfield back into play after an earlier incident and who badly needs to cover their backside), and they will leave no stone unturned until they get their man.

    If this is true, we MUST get footage of this and present it as new evidence. Would be a lock to get off then!

    Where's Rhino- I'd really appreciate his thoughts on this issue-as he was a very strong tacler himself.

    Second: in choosing to push player B you have a duty of care to ensure that the action you take doesn't cause him injury. The rule requires that you don't use a method of tackling or bumping that may lead to injury and of course with high impact being the worst. It is clearly forseeable that if you push someone over, who is running, carrying a football, that he may fall over and may hit his head. You therefore have a duty to that player not to do what forseeably could injure him.

    That is the rule, that is why people like Bruce Matthews of the Sun think the game is in real trouble if it is not changed.

    Did anyone see Sam Gilbert come up behind Judd and bump/push him (overran him) into the ground on monday night ? (when both were running off the ball).

    He fell forward to the ground by could have conceivably hit his head or injured/dislocated a shoulder from the fall.

    Where was the "duty of care" there ?

    [i understand Judd wasn't injured]

    Just saying and highlighting an instance or example as per Redleg's quote.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
