AFL announces new Rule Tinkering Unit

Hilarious ....and yet so scarily true !!

They already have a rule tinkering unit. It's called the umpires.

I would be an expert for the Rules tinkering committee. I know little about the game, i could care less about the spirit of the game. I get annoyed when teams which should be being beaten suddenly find themselves leading because umpires arbitrarily, fairly apply existing rules to what they see happening on the field. I know it's rare but it does happen. In such a case, the rules can be tweaked in play to get the right result.

This could be the watershed moment for Gil's administration. (and we thought that would be cheaper chips)

Did you mean "levity"?

at first but I thought we could all do with rising above the mundane of preseason  !!

I think this unit has been operating for a while now, for example I have seen the holding the ball rule change several times within one game on numerous occasions. And I have even seen the rule change for one side versus the other side. They can be very innovative at times, not sure how the poor umpires keep up with the instructions though?

The Titus 'n' Paradise podcasts are great. Sergio Paradise and Titus O'Reily are two Melbourne tragics. Well worth the listen.
