Isn't that what they said about all the other rules they've implemented?
The biggest blight on attacking footy is numbers behind the ball, once upon a time forwards stayed forward, half forwards ventured all the way up to the wing and there was room to move. The only way to stop that would be to implement a half way line and I don't want to see that, just another rule they think might work.
And do you think coaching groups aren't already working on plans to address that movement?
Anyway, as long as Richmond keep playing scramble forward rugby the game will look shit, luckily their time is coming to an end and Port, Brisbane and Geelong are playing far more attractive footy.
PAFC. Forever.
LOOK OUT, WE'RE COMING!
