It's official, Hocking and the AFL are dumb-arsed, half-baked clowns who are trying to stuff the game

I'm looking forward to rule changes in golf so I can produce some Tiger Woods moments.
Yes I’m happy about going back to 20m quarters. I bet Salty Scott isn’t though!
yeah an increase of 200% in the pool table pockets would be good so I can get a few Eddie Charlton moments happening. The possibilities are endless!

So the umpire's going to have to wait for players to reset at each throw-in? How much dead time do they want in the game? It's going to be like gridiron.
I dunno, we all know what happened last time they did “proper trialling in the VFL”...

The simplest way to end congestion is to enforce MINIMUM skinfolds. More fatties means less running. And more Relton Roberts moments.
I am sick and tired of Hocking changing the rules.
It is making our game farcical.
There is always an underlying agenda....decide for yourself.
We are closing in on a hybrid of netball, soccer and grid iron.
What will happen is the RFC will win the flag regardless of the idiotic changes and more changes will follow.
It is just a nonsensical tail wagging the dog.

More Dusty moments?! Give me a spell.
SHocking is a liar. He's trying to dismantle our high pressure game plan.
These rule changes are completely unjustified.

It's fine. It's fine!
They've got a body of evidence that the rule changes to make the game more like netball will result in more goals per game. Like netball. I mean, footy is basically netball without a round ball. Other than that the games are exactly the same. It's a disgrace that they even call netball, "netball". Should be called "Throwball".
And they've trialed them in some country Auskick games a few times late in the 2020 season.
This constant changing of the game to move away from the contest and more that *smile* AFLX crap, will end up doing the opposite of what they want and will turn fans away from the game.
I love the intensity of AFL but struggle with watching those chip around games. They bore the *smile* out of me. If thats what they are trying to do, then fine, but expect to see declining viewing numbers.

Seriously, if the umps just paid a free kick on the first throw and another one every time a defender blocked a forward, there would be 35 to 50 goals a game.
The only reason the game becomes congested is because they ignore frees until ten players fall on the ground with the ball underneath them, forcing a ball up and giving ten other players time to run to the contest.
The only reason forwards don‘t kick enough goals is because defenders outnumber them and block and scrag when the ball is fifty metres away, eventually allowing the extra defender to run away with the ball by himself.
Surely Hocking is about to make the Guinness Book of Records as the man who pulled more wrong reins than anyone else in the entire history of the world? Does he remove the hinges every time he wants to open a door?

The AFL and its minion, Steve Hocking, are infuriating. They are a blight.
I hate them and their annual raft of utterly ridiculous changes. The Fox Footy article headline says it all: ‘We are players, not lab rats’ - AFL guns baffled, VFL star outraged with league decision.
The AFL treats Clubs, players and the fans with more and more contempt every year. I wish we all had a way to exercise our own "Black Lives Matter" movement in the context of AFL and protest on the streets to leave the game alone. It is truly despicable the way we are all being treated by this organisation. No explanations, no KPIs provided to measure how to judge success from these changes. Just someone's gut instinct.
The reduced rotations suit us. But that isnt the point.
It's the sheer contempt they must have for everyone in the industry and all fans - this is the boiling anger.
