What happens if the crowd suggests that a particular player is a wanker? Does the umpire have to go up to that player and remind him that he is indeed a wanker?

Does this mean they are adopting what I can best describe as cumulative opportunity which the crowd fervently believes in? If a guy barely squeaks out a handball, the next guy barely squeaks out a handball, the next guy barely squeaks out a handball and the last guy gets sat on by three opponents as soon as he gets it and it's HOLDING THE BAAAALLLLLL!

We can add in more rules to accommodate for it, a hybrid between basketballs shot clock and gridiron/leagues downs system. On each tackle a rolling timer starts and if you accumulate five tackles in a 20 second period you get a free kick.

Was at my brothers wedding on the weekend, and only found out after the fact James Hird's mother was in attendance, and my brother received a Hird signed bombers jumper from his new wife as a semi joke gift. He's a died in the wool Eagles supporter by the way.

Entire MCG crowd yells "BALLLLL" at a passing seagull with a hot chip in its beak The AFL responds, "hmm yes we've listened to your interpretation and deemed it correct and therefore we'll change the rules again this year"

At least they are paying attention to fan concerns, under Demetriou it was whatever fly-by-Kevin-Bartletts-arse instinct. Everyone was upset at the holding the ball interpretation last year and they are moving to address it, along with a few other things like kids getting to kick on the ground again.

They should just install a dB meter in all stadiums, and if the crowd is vocal enough a whistle blows over the stadia speakers and all the video boards flash 'HOLDING THE BALL.' I bet they're going to rename Subi 'The Domain of Pain' if the Eagles or Freo get a bunch of home wins in a row. It's still such a loving stupid name for a stadium, and no one refers to it by naming rights - and it's going to be torn down in the next 2 years - so what's the loving point?

I go to the Rose fairly regularly during the footy season to watch big Freo games, always a lot of purple in attendance, went there after the 2013 GF for commiseration/celebration drinks with my Hawks supporting brother, not the best night of my life.

Seriously, that money would be better spent spread around the clubs that are struggling.

Yeah, a billion dollar plus payday is kind of worth sinking 2-5% into further growth. Suns are going well though, probably contributed in part to the Titans sucking it hard (apart from the coke use of course)
