Mind your back!!!

One positive that has come out of the initial round is the apparent clamp down on blatant shoves in the back especially in marking duels.
A couple of years ago, the appeared to be a softening of this rule and I could not understand what possible good could come of it, or why it was introduced.
This particular rule has been a cornerstone of the game and is quite unique to our sport (I think!)
I do not blame the umpiring fraternity for this change as it must have come from some flog in the AFL. Occasionally, we seem to get some misdirected crusader who believe they can leave their mark on the game by tweaking the rules. Remember “Angry” Anderson.
Let us hope it is not just a “Rule of the week” thing.

Allowing for Angry and their Focus Groups,pretty much all the twiddling and tweaking of the Rules come from AWFULL HOUSE and the AWFULL RULES COMMITTEE acting like Flogs in screwing around with the Great Game of Australian Rules Football!

I think in essence they haven’t tweaked rules as much as they used to. Create a tento on changes dependant upon game needs, but infringement interpretations as such are slightly different.

Credit where it’s due in this case.

Not much.They've changed the Rules that much,they've had to look for Rules within Rules,or invent Rules such as No Whistling around the Interchange Bench.Seriously?

WAFL or AFL?

Seems a bit exaggerated and imagined to be fair grass.
