Manning the Mark Rule Change
the only thing i don't want to see is an umpire being slow on calling play on, the defender being spot on, then penalised on the technicality that he moveda split second before umpire called play on. a good umpire would realise he was a bit slow (maybe he was distracted watching downfield or just slow) and use some common sense, but i wouldn't hold my breath the other problem is hearing the umpire in front of a big crowd. i.e. not hearing "stand" or "play on"

Who gets to go to Round 1?
kids memberships would be lowest priority if based on amount paid, and that would be devastating for them doesn't seem fair and i wouldn't like to explain why to the grand kids a sliding scale makes more sense i.e. a bigger percentage to higher value tickets.....but not all for tier1, then all for tier2........etc after a useless membership for 2020 they don't want to start season 2021 disenfranchising the plebeians or i can see a rush of them cancelling their memberships and demanding their money back any solution has to have any burden carried by all tiers of membership

strictly speaking "mimimal" would have to be the smallest possible observable measurement scratch your ear and bang, 50m oh and does jumping up in the air count as "moving in any direction"

Manning the Mark Rule Change
one good thing with this is that because the man on the mark is fixed it will make it easier for everyone, but especially the umpire, to see the actual mark and therefore the kicker's legal "line" this will make it easier to spot when a player goes off-line and therefore to call play-on if the umpires are going to be strict with man-on-mark then they need to be just as strict with kicker going off their line, which is something we see all too frequently, especially around the boundaries only time will tell how well umpires adjudicate both these situations

Manning the Mark Rule Change
seems like there is a 20m (10m either side) x 5m area where no-one allowed except man on mark. This 20m x5m area already exists. man on mark must be directly on the mark and no movement laterally or back (until ball kicked or play-on called) one can only pray that umps will apply a bit of common sense and not go 50m penalty crazy
