When you have people on the goal line jumping to stop a ball going through, is there any rule against getting a boost upwards from a team mate?

Technically not, just no one's even done it.

Definitely not clear enough to overturn the goal ump though imo.

Wouldn't mind a replay of that third man up...

Did that umpire just get confused about who nominated for the ruck and then paid a free because they thought someone was blocking the ruck who was actually a mid?

Edit: Yes. Yes he did.

Thomas was absolute garbage all day, a poo poo entry and a miss on goal was a fitting way for it to end

The deliberate out of bounds/rushed behind and holding the ball interpretations this year are really bad. Add in the idiotic ruck stuff, and I think the rules are the most confusing and annoying they have ever been.

Every year the AFL seems to come out and say "GREAT NEWS GUYS WE'RE GOING TO BE EVEN TOUGHER ON DELIBERATE CALLS!" as though it's a good thing. Honestly, short of a player literally turning 90 degrees and booting the ball to skid out of bounds in a paddock I'd be happy to never see a deliberate call paid again.

They've also basically stopped paying frees for getting tackled to the ground without possession - couple that with players who are being tackled before they get the ball being pinged for HTB, despite not the remotest bit of prior opportunity, and you've got a real clusterfuck of mids just tackling each other like they're at the line of scrimmage, rather than playing the ball.

I really think that players deliberately going with the late elbow to the ribs should be cited for it. Jenkins two weeks ago and Cloke tonight missing games due to broken ribs while the perpetrator gets off is an awful way of doing things.

There was one really questionable one in the North forward line where one of their bigger guys (did look like Preuss) grabbed Marcus Adams and just slung him to the ground when Adams not only didn't have it but was a couple of metres off the ball.

I don't think either incident deserves a suspension. I haven't seen a replay of tonight's one but from memory neither were malicious.

Does supercoach not tell you who has been selected anymore with the green dot or something? Do you have to actually be a subscriber to see that now?

I think you do, because I did get the green dots in round 1, and everyone had a free trial for the first 2 rounds
