Round 18 Non MFC Games
the 2nd one was definitely there. bit unlucky for the north guy but that was the way it played out. not much he could do about it but that's the breaks. definitely in the back even if accidental

Injury List - Season 2019
i agree quite a few teams have been hit by injuries. in fact i'd like to see year by year stats for the whole competition as i get the feeling that this year has been a shocker for injuries and missed games for the afl. it got me thinking if the rule changes/interpretations plus the defensive game plans of coaches, coupled with the rotation and more fatigue is contributing to a growing toll of injuries, and a more unattractive game......and of course the bias towards athleticism and physical conditioning at the expense of skills and natural flair....... many are saying carlton and norf are doing better with caretaker coaches as they are being given more freedom to players to play to their natural individual skills and football instincts

Injury List - Season 2019
kero wilson claims we are exaggerating injuries and other clubs have had it worse than us this year i'd like to see an updated games-lost-this-year-to-best-22 (make it best 25 to make choice easier)

Dermie: Melbourne are downhill skiers
another word for decision making?

Dermie: Melbourne are downhill skiers
this year clarrie is still averaging about the same possessions, tackles and contested possessions.......but i reckon his effectiveness and decision making is definitely down this year.......in his defence he seems to be tagged more (often illegally) and we must remember he had come off two shoulder operations which limited his pre-season however, any talk of dropping him is just nonsensical

2 wins, 14 losses
agree. i can't understand why so many posters want to make so much out of just one game in a season of 25. we had a bad day, and lets not forget that within a week of that game we had 9 players in for surgery, and that wasn't due to the pf. our deteriorating physical condition must have played a part, even though there was no comment (excuses) on it before the game

The AFL wants to reduce tackling
oh, and why are we the only comp that retains the blood rule.......even for v. minor bleeds?

The AFL wants to reduce tackling
the other thing i've noticed is once the opponent is tackled to the ground the tackler can tackle any way he wants.....over the shoulder, round the neck, jump on the back etc etc. it gets quite physical on those extra long scrimmages the umpire now allows, with fatigued players getting increasingly sloppy and another......when did we allow the tackler to be tackled? happens all the time. should be a free

The AFL wants to reduce tackling
severely limit interchange scrimmage time allowed to be greatly limited (as it used to be) reduced time limit for holding the ball decisions when prior opportunity (as it used to be) get rid of nominated ruckmen and also allow 3rd man up (as it used to be) get rid of new 8m extended area for kickouts (achieved fa) min 20m kick for a mark (maybe?) playon for backwards kicks, except in team's forward 50 big crackdown on what is a legitimate handpass (after an extensive slo-mo video study of archives) reduce protected area from 10m either side to 5m either side more generous interpretation of protected area violations (i.e. common sense) have a 25m and 50m penalty (and allow umpire more discretion to ignore inconsequential technical breaches) free kick reversal to result in a ball-up (i.e. no double penalty) completely re-write the ruck rules, both for bounce-ups and boundary throw-ins and that's just for starters

The old straight arm block - The Gawn rule.
think of all the wonderful character building opportunity you've had.....you lucky bastard.
-
The old straight arm block - The Gawn rule.
i'd call a block using your body using an arm would come under shepherding, holding, chopping or pushing.....but not a block reading those appallingly worded ruck rules i can only think what a joke the afl just seem totally unable to write the rules of the game adequately
