Lynch follows Richo and Jack in the tradition of Richmond-forward-as-pantomime-villain and therefore receives nothing but boos and hisses, WT.

Noticed everyone quoted in the article who was supportive or "open-minded" to the rule changes were or had been affiliated with Geelong...Who remembers this Hocking abomination?
While fans enjoy historic AFL round, league goes ahead with controversial trial of new rules
While the majority of AFL fans were revelling in an extraordinary weekend of tight finishes and engrossing contests, the league trialled new rules designed to ease congestion and increase scoring.www.abc.net.au
Yes, that was at the time when they realised that the tiges weren't just a flash in the pan, and they were *smile* scared of us going back to back.Who remembers this Hocking abomination?

At least those rules were trialled (in a couple of VFL games against bottom dwellers) unlike the crap rules that have since been brought in
average score that round was 95 point and average in the 5 games decided by less than a goal 92 point.Who remembers this Hocking abomination?

The game was obviously stuffed!!!
The article was 5th Aug 2018 - when we were reigning premier and sitting on top of the ladder.Who remembers this Hocking abomination?

Shocking was trying to devise anything and everything to "peg us back a bit"
*smile* him
the game was in a much better state then than it is now. Where are the "state of the game" discussions and forums now?
He got his way anyway by allowing the full back get to the defensive 50 unimpeded.
Yes and now we have keepings off betwen the arcs, while both teams park the bus in front of their goals.
Reading Harry's attached article, it's funny how every soft **** from Geelong wanted the rules changed while others didn't.
At least we don't have to count sheep anymore to fall asleep!

Yes, I noticed that a James Podsiadly was there as the "AFL Game Analysis Officer". Gee, where did he play most of his games I wonder?
Yes, but, but, you know the Coburg Werribee game had an average score of . . . oh, it was 58 to 105, average score 81.5 . . . but it must have been exciting, the margin was only, oh, it was 47 points. The average for the other VFL games in that round was 81, no difference really.
So, they tried it out, the new rules were a fail, and they implemented some of them anyway like 6-6-6.
*smile* idiots.

SHocking did you watch the Blues & Pies games which were an insult to the AFL week to week public. SHocking did you watch the over umpiring of games especially Fridays night game. SHocking you have reduced the AFL's mans game to Little League. SHocking the quicker you go to Geeeloong the quicker they will be like the rabble Blues & Pies. Goodbye & take Gil with you if you can.
Don't need them. Gilligan, his pet suits n the meedjia will all lovingly explain to us uneducated n unwashed masses exactly how SHocking has already saved the game.
Shocking has done more damage to the game than Covid as well as any other person in the history of the VFL/AFL
I truly hope he *smile* up geelong as much as he’s *smile* up the competition and the game we grew up loving
I liked Dylan Grimes standing still on the mark waiting for play on to be called while the Giant with the ball ran 10 mtrs past him.
the club should send the video to the AFL and ask what he should do?
the rule, whilst stupid in design, and intent, is also creating another situation where the umps need to decide whether they pay what the rules say is a free, or if they show leniency, which leads to inconsistency.
also Friday night the Giants players often run away from the mark, to be outside the 5mt area. the umps then called play on when our players started to go to kick the ball, even though we hadnt gone sideways, or gone near where the mark actually should have been.
conversely when they had the ball they were often going a long way behind the mark, Ben Brown style. this further reduced the impact of having anyone on the mark.
