Since scoring is down, channel 7 won't be happy.

I can only assume that there'll be more rule changes to "fix" this around half way through the season.

They won't change the rule mid-season. They'll just change the interpretation.Ā  Will be intriguing to hear the AFL'sĀ  weasel-words.

    Not sure how they could possibly change the interpretation of something as simple as 6-6-6. I'm sure if enough advertising dollars are at stake they'll give it a bash though, you'r probably right. Maybe they'll increase the amount of warnings for violating the rule from 1 to unlimited. That way the rule stands, but teams can just ignore it. The fact that there's a warning system at all and not just a free kick is idiotic anyway, might as well extend the idiocy.

    The warning system is a joke for incorrectly setting up 6-6-6. After Gold Coast hit the front with 10 seconds to go they lined up with only one player on a wing. The far wing had no Gold Coast player. Whatā€™s the point ofĀ giving a team a warning with 10 seconds to go?Ā

    AFL - Rule clarification--- "In fine tuning the 646 rule we have instructed the umpires to enforce the 16 players per side Ā and for all players to wear Toyota Hi Lux - bibs designating the area of the ground that they must stay in. The 45 player NAB - we won't rip you off interchange bench will be relaxed to include an additional 5 Virgin concussion subs. The Bet easy polo ponies will now only beĀ permitted in the ThriftyĀ defensiveĀ 100 meter zone unless the team captain playsĀ her wild card which will obviously also include 35 point super duper Big Mac value mealĀ goals. It is vitally important to us to maintain the integrity of our game and that is why we would never introduce new rules without a thought bubble. This announcement was brought to you by Marvel , marvelous what an indifference marvel makes!"

    That is correct DZ.Ā  At some point the clubs have had enough warnings and time to adjust.Ā  It's then an instant penalty.Ā  But the AFL couldn't even get that right.Ā  Which is probably why they have the rediculous warning...penalty too harsh!Ā  Why 50 meters?Ā  Free kick from the middle would be sufficient and see the umps more than happy to enforce the penalty IMO.

    Given Gil and Hocking seem obsessed with non-football entertainment, it's only fair to point out that I found it highly entertaining in the Essendon game when the umpires panicked the second time Essendon didn't have a wingman at a centre bounce. Turned out that Essendon only had 17 players on the ground at the time. The poor umpires were completely befuddled. And the game was delayed for about a minute for no good reason.Ā

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyā€™s inclusive bannerā€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodā€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.Ā

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastā€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze ā€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateā€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodā€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
