What a joke the AFL is

[To the top]

So the AFL makes an issue of Clubs not accessing Umpire info as to what rules they are going to focus on in the upcoming rounds

Do the AFL realise what amateurs such a comment makes them look?

Simply, rules are rules

So why would you focus on one rule in any given week?

Just a PR cover up by an administration a very long way out of their depth

[Linton Lodger]

Morons!

The rules should be the same every week, if you decide to change them, you tell the Clubs.

And setting a great example by having a drug cheat at the forefront of the good Friday appeal

[Griggsy]

Yes, how about rule of the week be to follow ALL the rules.
It's why fans of every club despise the umpiring fraternity, inconsistent calls and consistently incompetent.

Who is it ?

The AFL react by banning the 3rd man up in ruck contests

Why?

In "The Age" yesterday there was a photo of 2 ruckman contesting - and they were draped over each other one with his arm over the shoulder of the other and both with their hands on the other

This is why the 3rd man up became a feature

Whilst the ruckman grappled with each other there was a perfect opportunity for a 3rd up to come over the top of them

So instead of addressing the fundamental problem of the rucks confirmed by the photo in "The Age" the AFL ban the 3rd up and leave the ricks to grapple with each other

Knee jerk nonsense by the AFL - again

If a ruckman is grabbing an opponent or draping his arms around and over his opponent or pushing his opponent from the contest with his hands then pay the free

Instead they pay a free if a ruckman takes his eye off the ball!
