It needs to be scrapped. The quality of umpiring is just nowhere near good enough to have it.

Also: any rule based on intent is really hard to enforce. That's why there's a tribunal to determine whether a bloke really meant it when he punched a dude in the face.

Oh yeah, baby. Frame your suffering as a masterpiece. Only one problem - no one's watching. It's boring, buddy, boring as death.
Rocket had good thoughts about delib this morning, said if opp player is close enough to keep ball in and elects not to, delib shouldn't be called. I think that's the point that's been most frustrating.

Punch the ball away long after player takes a mark, no 50. Tackle a player who is loving running sideways and forwards of the mark, 50. Get hosed you moronic oval office

AFLs rules are broken and the umpires are shocking at interpreting even the simplest of rules. It's ruining the game and gets worse every year.

Let's get a little crazy. Let's have some fun.
I'd wonder how we'd go if we just went to a "any out-of-bounds is a free kick against whoever last touched it" rule instead of this half-baked Minority Report crap. Although that would present a dramatic shift in tactics, of course.

I think we should go any out of bounds is a throw in, personally

Yeah but then we'd go back to tactical boundaries, which is why the OOB on the full was brought in in the early 70s anyway.

EDIT: Maybe if the ball is kicked out or handballed out and isn't touched, it's a free, otherwise, throw-in, (for instance if it spills out of a pack or someone muffs a mark or has it spoiled). We basically have to take the arbitrariness out of the decision without it being too exploitable.

I don't think he's done but with Lewis coming in you have to wonder why we are persisting with him in the back line rather than sticking him back in the middle where his rough edges aren't as punishing

Yeah, basically it can't be delib if an opponent just lets it roll over while being close enough. The other is them just punishing poo poo kicks where it doesn't go where it was supposed to go.

True, I guess I more mean this is more exactly what you'd expect. Both teams daring each other to be worse. I think 2013 is the only blemish on that record in recent memory.
