yes handball allowed. normal play-on rules apply once he crosses the line
not sure if he can handball if he hasn't crossed the line and ump hasn't called play-on due to time taken, but i'm guessing yes
biffo did try to enlist the comanchero's help but i seems his credit rating there had taken a big dip due to some "misunderstandings" over territorial issues and is still recovering
but, and if true (dubious)
isn't that why they have negotiations. each side starts with their optimal position (ambit) then they decide somewhere between. who's to say hogan's mgmt wouldn't finally agree to 6 years...or 5 years.....
4 years for such a big deal and on a contracted young player seem a bit too little to me given the whole context
but of course it does. per year and duration signal a very clear indication of how much a player is valued, which in turn helps dictate what his trade value would be. It certainly does for compensation pick evaluation
in this case freo (acc to morris) only want a 4 year contract and hogan's mgmt is asking for 8 years, which might very well be just an ambit position, assuming morris is correct of course.
setting a high price and saying they were just as happy to keep him, suggest there is some fight
but at the end of the day who knows what to believe
i still think their no1 option would be to retain him on a new long term contract. the window is open and the mfc need to get going now not at the end of 2019
it would seem jesse wasn't prepared to accept no1 option so this is now playing out (and good for the club being strong)
we know the opp player must be 10m back from the top of the square
but no mention is made of the protected area to the sides i.e. is it 10m clearance on all sides of the square or is there a virtual 10m straight line from boundary to boundary (like in nrl)?.....................this aspect was not made clear
the other aspect is how long are the opp players given to clear this no-go zone, esp as the full back can play-on as soon as the goal ump acknowledges a point? also what if an opp player stays with his opponent player who stays in the no-go zone?
would hate to see more confusing (and unfair) 50m penalties applied
encouraging mcc members to become mfc members (if they haven't already) by shaming or demeaning them seems pretty counteractive to me
(i'm not a mcc member)
