Tom Browne explained how Steve Hocking's appointment as Geelong CEO paves the way for Brad Scott to fill his role at AFL House.

Browne spoke on the Triple M Footy news podcast this morning before the Hocking news had broken, but flagged that Scott was waiting in the wings if Hocking did depart.

Wishful thinking but all of SHocking's stupid rules should be reversed.

Richo's view:

All the ‘Stand’ rule has achieved is ball movement a bit quicker between arcs. Few adjustments from coaches. Hold back 6 and zero impact on scoring.

Had to laugh at Chris Scott tonight trying to say with a straight face that as coaches they don't want to design the rules.

What does he call his mate SHocking designing the rules since 2021 to favour his Geelong?!  ::)
