Yeah but they can't know if the ruckman is being. Grigg used to exploit this rule. They'll need honesty from the players

Only a journos opinion but an interesting last sentence in the hocking paragraph
Isn't Jon Anderson a Geelong supporter?
Everyone on thisHocking knew Hockings agenda was to stop us and make Geelong relevant again.
That's why the AFL is no different to FIFA, OOC etc.

“Deserves credit for tinkering with the rules which hit pay dirt”
It’s just says so much on so many levels - about the author and the person they are writing about.

Yep
But some are still adamant there was nothing untoward about shockings motives
None so blind as those that refuse to see.
AFL hasn't been a genuine sporting comp since they took the game national, it's purely a corporate manipulation by honcho's in suits for theatre entertainment.
True, but there are those in the media, who have strongly denied this. Maybe Anderson was on the sauce when he wrote the piece?
Imagine what the footy world would be saying if Gale was CEO of the ALF and in his first year Richmond won the flag…?
I know it’s around the other way and CEO would have less influence but it wouldn’t stop the footy world with their accusations.
I don’t think it was Anderson who wrote this. Scott Gullan. I think he is a handbagger supporter too, from memory

TBR’s not media. It’s been suggested to the likes of Whateley, who has rejected it as crazy talk. I’ve heard Russell cut people off when they try and broach it in his show.
Mince 'Nonsense' Whateley. The other day I heard on SEN that he suggested moving the Cox Plate to November, and all I yelled out 10 times was 'nonsense!!'
I used to like him, but now he tries to manufacture controversy, and he’s a total apologist for the AFL. The only point he’s stayed consistent on is his issues with the score review.
Same here. Seems OK when he comes out with an idea, otherwise it's.....nonsense!!
So what parts? That he did it deliberately to counter the RFC or that he tweaked the rules? One of those options is pure fact. Can you name any other media person who doesnt follow Geelong that have rejected it?
I think he’s going to wake up to a horses head in his bed for highlighting it
