    Is that when the umpires lines up the free-kicker with the middle of the goals??

    As in they will only do this when there is a free kick or mark in the forward 50.

    They say there will be an adjustment to the line of the mark, except when a player takes a mark or receives a free kick within the forward 50.

    ?

    Maybe relenting on the player having to come around directly in line, behind the mark to dispose of ball? Except in the forward 50?

    Who knows, and TBH they will stuff up interpreting this across each game so none of us will know what happened then it will be hailed a success! Yay AFL!

    I love the way the headline says the new rules explained and then the article completely fails to explain what this rule even is, let alone the change to it!

    Would it kill them to just leave the bloody game alone for ONE YEAR?

     

    All these stupid rule changes achieve is more confusion and more issues which need further rule changes.

    The issue is that the AFL has a Laws of the Game Committee (aka a rules committee). If you have a rules committee, there will be new rules every year, because that's what the committee's job is. If the AFL were to scrap the "Laws of the Game Committee", all of this crap would be easily eliminated.

    Unfortunately, being a boys club where everyone gets to hire their mates on cushy six-figure salaries for basically zero return, this will never happen.

    Deliberate out of bounds is another interesting one, I hate when someone kicks it 30-40 metres then it bounces at rights angles and goes over the line.

    Stop simplifying things you're making too much sense.

    All we (the fans) want is consistency with interpretation and yes, leave the bloody things alone.

    Now this law applies to players called Mark. If they mark the ball the umpire will blow the whistle and call Mark's mark and mark the line in line where the mark was taken and a mark at the line of the goals . This of course is the new Mark's mark rule Mark-2 not to be confused with Mark's mark rule Mark-1. Though that rule left its mark on the game a line was put through it for this season and revised into mark-2.

    Should more than one mark attempt to mark the ball  then the two players will line up on the mark of the mark that the marks attempted to mark the ball. This line will mark the line between the marks  trying to mark the ball and the marked line of the goals.

    if three marks should attempt a mark then all bets are off and mark my words we'll line up the rule makers and make them mark the ball instead. Mark my words !!

     

    So any other rules needing clarification ??

    Nup, covered it reMARKably well

    I can only hope it means that the player standing on the mark has to actually STAND RIGHT ON THE SPOT.  No lateral movement.  It would require more stringent and quicker calling of play on but would improve ball movement and open up downfield and the corridor substantially.

     But the player with the ball can wander off? Or like Franklin approach at an angle and kick around the man on the mark?

    Perhaps if the player with the ball deviates from the line it should be play on or is that a different rule?  This  http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2016-02-18/2016-nab-challenge-explained#sthash.C1fJgooJ.dpuf  certainly does not explain the rule.

    No, I said it would require a tightening of how quick they call play on for deviating off the line.  Shots a t goal would probably have to be an exception unless attitudes in that regard changed.

    Also, no team-mate of the player with the ball can go anywhere near the position of the mark to shepherd once play on is called.

    Seems like a lot of trouble to go to for the five players called Mark. Would it extend through to the two Marc's and the Marcus?

    Maybe we should have held on to the Russian just to get the benefit of this rule (if there actually is one)

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
