In the Oliver article on the MFC website this little gem was thrown in... The AFL is cracking down further on dangerous tackles this season, with umpires and the MRP instructed to apply a stricter adjudication and interpretation of tackles made with a lifting, slinging or rotating technique ( emphasis is mine) How about the AFL publish on the website what "stricter adjudication and interpretation of tackles" actually means before we start watching competitive games ! Many were rightly complaining that Oliver was fined for a tackle that he should not have been fined for. I believe that the laws have actually changed and ANY slinging action will land you in trouble whether arms are pinned or not, or whether or not there are two motions. AFL - why do you insist in keeping we the supporters who pay to watch game in the dark - take a leaf out from the NRL who make public how they adjudicate the game (http://www.nrl.com/nrl-judiciary-code--dangerous-throw/tabid/10959/contentid/735083/default.aspx)
