Nice. My most hated rule is when a player is done for holding the ball when there is about 10 players laying on top of him holding it in. How the hell is he meant to get it out?

    just did the survey, for what it is worth. Doubt it will make much difference.

    KB once said "The AFL have a very good understanding of what us fans like. They run lots of surveys."

    Pitty they don't actually talk to some of us from time to time!

    My least-favoured rule is when players are given free-kicks for self-initated high contact.

    My favourite aspect of the game is when players are rewarded for properly executed tackles.

    Have I contradicted myself there?

    That is almost exactly what I said, although I did ramble on a bit about changing the interpretation to Significant contact rather than any and all contact above the shoulder and threw in a small dig about them not paying incorrect disposal anymore.

    My favorite was actually to back the new rule against sliding into a players legs. I think it not only deals with a tactic that has been used maliciously by some players but also takes away one of the avenues players have used to milk cheap free kicks in the last decade or so.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
