Yep holding the man is treated now like illegal holds in the old world championship wrestling if you release the hold when the ump looks at you it's ok.

Agree
Just as I was just defending the shorter quarters for the 17 games (above) I was actually wondering too if this issue was part of the AFL announcement
Surely it was only for the 17 rounds and that if we got to finals time with 4 weeks available we would revert to standard times - but don’t know if that was part of the deal or not
We've got a draw that lasts 4 games and you reckon it's unfair if the game time changes? We've got teams playing in different states, we are ready to change the days between games (that will surely advantage some teams and disadvantage others) different travel schedules etc etc but for integrity we can't change how long games are? Some games are during day, some at night, and yet the length must be maintained?
Seriously flawed logic.
i dont like the shortened quarters but agree they should stay for the year.
i dont like the idea of any changes to scoring- such as 9pters, or play on off the post.
I liked the old kick in rule where players have to at least touch it to their feet to play on- the possibility of someone stupidly stepping on the line adds a little to the game i reckon.
not allowing shorter kicks, or not allowing marks for shorter kicks, or backwards kick only promotes flooding i reckon.
as much as we dont like it, the way the pies played forced us to man up more all over the ground, rather than everyone sitting down the line. as we are forced to cover short kicks the ground opens up longer.
its like when we played the crows all those years ago. we passed short and sideways (or at least the Bowdens did) because they let us. once they stopped putting numbers down the line and covered our short kicks we were forced to kick longer.

Sam McClure saying they'll change it sooner "if normality continues to return on a linear basis".
Screw you for posting that Spook! Now my brain is leaking out of my ears while I try to interpret what the *smile* that means!
Surely some teams having to hub is a disadvantage over those not hubbing? Surely West Coast and freo have drawn the short straw. So they are automatically disadvantaged in comparison to the VIC sides. And form isn't that easily turned on and off. This is not normal. It's compromised. Radical albeit necessary. But not fair. Some teams are going to have less breaks between games, how do we equalise that scenario? Changing game length to me is just another change that whilst not "fair" is entirely OK if it is the best decision for the game overall.
This season is already compromised, having game time as sacred make no sense.
Gil is operating to financial imperatives and will be prepared to abide all sorts of inconsistencies to protect the bottom line.
Basically we're the only club who can give this year's flag any legitimacy by winning, given 3/4 would mean it's obviously no fluke. Any of seventeen other clubs will have an asterisk.

Yeh, the positive test will mean zero chance of proper game time.
They won’t this season, and once they introduced it, they weren’t going to. What gives me the *smile* about the rule changes is how much the media drive it. These idiots demand changes and when they’re made and don’t have an immediate effect they scream about introducing more changes. Leave the game alone ffs!
So some teams will be disadvantaged over others? Some will be forced to hub outside their states whilst others may not be? Some will have more frequent shorter breaks between games?
If the argument is simply protection of players that is one thing but to argue that it preserves integrity doesn't fly given the unfair nature of the season already.
Ultimately it will be a compromised premiership (if we get the season in) but I bet whoever wins it will celebrate accordingly.
Absolutely correct
Don't like it (and clearly many people loathe it) but it's always been a contingency that a week ago looked like it might have been too cautious and unnecessary - but all of a sudden it might ... just might ... end up being of value.

Have we had any word on house inspections being ruled an un/acceptable quarantine activity by the AFL?
Should Ollie Wines and the channel 7 reporter have just arranged to inspect the same house?
should Kasiah Pickett have had a house inspection gathering?
'unit 6/266 punt rd south Yarra 10a.m, BYO C U There LOL'
