Toss the ball lower, further and quicker and change the rules to encourage ruckmen to avoid the ugly wrestle and return to the days when the ruckmen ran in and competed in the air.

Yeah the ruckmen wrestling is a bit of a blight on the game. Simple solution is to introduce last touch out of bounds.

    No no no never. Getting free kicks from an accident is grossly unfair and detracts from the beauty and spirit of the game.

    Change boundary throw ins so that there is an even, competitive contest that is not ugly. No wrestling.

    Speaking of throw-ins it's about time the AFL changed the rules for ruckmen no more grapling it's a blight on the game there should be no contact until the ball is thrown in, i also agree with La Dee no more nominated ruckmen at ball ups just throw it up and if a third ruckman goes up pay a free.
    P.S. Also, get rid of the stand rule. Players are getting too much of an advantage.

    Typical AFL. They bring in a rule that ruckmen have to start 1m or so apart and they enforce it for about 5 weeks then its forgotten. Probably 20 or so rules like that

    Plus they would have to go to a score review any time there was a contentious OOB

    Nah that was a joke when they tried that, just have no contact until the ball is thrown in and no grappling first one that does free kick soon stop that.

    mate in SA , ex player at ammos lvel and still participates , was dead against this rule when it was bought in. Now is fully supportive says it takes the decision making out of umpires and also has resulted in many less OOB. Players adapt.

    • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
