Only RichmondSeems there’s a completely different interpretation of dissent (Hardwick) and holding the ball (Nash tackle) compared to our game. How am I not surprised.

Soldo got penalised for the exact same thing. Horrible rule. As Dermie said it hasn’t been a rule for 120 years of football but they decide it’s a good thing to bring in.Tom Phillips just got pinged a 50 metre penalty for manning the mark but coming from behind the mark to do it. So it seems he’s mean to run a wide arc from behind the the guy about to kick the ball around the front and then run in from the front.
yeah, makes sense….
Yep. But didn’t Soldo run in from the side?Soldo got penalised for the exact same thing. Horrible rule. As Dermie said it hasn’t been a rule for 120 years of football but they decide it’s a good thing to bring in.
So, basically, looking at that Phillips decision, you have to let the player play on with a paddock in front of them. You can not stand the mark ….you just have to run 10m wide of them and let the opposition play on with a heap of space in front of them. That’s the most you’re allowed to do.Soldo got penalised for the exact same thing. Horrible rule.

Nope came from behind the player. Remember it clearly because I whinging how stupid the rule is.Yep. But didn’t Soldo run in from the side?
Yeah, I’m seeing more players just wandering on the mark, not moving huge distances but shuffling side to side, movement that previously were penalised.Also the statue rule only seems to apply to us. Edwards got pinged for twitching a toe in the mark after STAND had been called on Thursday night. Saw 2 instances in the Hawks v Roos where the player clearly moved after STAND was called and nothing from the umpire.
CCJ kicks a goal...oh taken off him...my heart bleeds for him!
Crazy to expect consistency!Seems there’s a completely different interpretation of dissent (Hardwick) and holding the ball (Nash tackle) compared to our game. How am I not surprised.
