Except where the rules and spectacle are concerned.

Instead we get more themed rounds...yay...

They are not interested in anyone over 35. As long as more kids are watching and playing than those disenfranchised older supporters walking away from the game then nothing will change.

AFL stand rule crack down coming

Change to ‘stand’ rule cracks down on fake handballers

Players who try to milk 50m penalties by faking a handball have been called out by the AFL in a change to the controversial ‘stand’ rule.

It’s the Geelong rule, with the help of Hocking and other AFL toadies they sure had the game plan ready to go when this rule started

No 50m penalties for fake handballs among rule tweaks

The AFL has made tweaks to three rule interpretations ahead of the 2023 season

A 50m penalty will no longer be paid if a player fakes a handball while behind the mark, drawing their opponent off their position.

It's one of three tweaks to rule interpretations that have been made ahead of the 2023 Toyota AFL Premiership Season, with the League aiming to simplify the game for officiating, minimising delays and reducing player exploitation of rules.

The modification expected to have the greatest impact on games is around drawing a 50m penalty with a fake handball, a move used by players last season, when they would goad their opponent into moving off the mark before play on was called.

Additionally, players have to make an immediate decision regarding the 5m protected area. When a player is penalised for giving away a free kick or loses a marking contest, they must stand the mark or immediately leave the protected area.

The third change will see players no longer given an alert by umpires at the 15-second mark of their set shot, instead receiving just a warning at 25 seconds. Players are allowed 30 seconds to start their set-shot approach.

The rule should always have been if you fake a handball the umpire calls play on!  Stupid rule getting stupider ...      ::)

How about as soon as a player moves off the line of the mark by a centimetre  anywhere on the field  its play on and it is enforced
Now it just another form of basketball. The stand rule is another rule being made by unelected faceless people abusing their power

Am I dreaming but I remember reading somewhere how Hocking (when at AFL) and Chris Scott collaborated to work out how to stop Richmonds dominance after 2020.

 Is it just a rumour? Is this actually true? Is there any proof anywhere?

It would be great if anyone can shed any light on this

You dreamt it.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Yes it was Hocking. Was discussed on a footy talk show once.

Can't remember where but I had a screenshot of it somewhere.

He became increasingly annoyed seeing Richmond players defend the mark horizontally to prevent ball movement vs Geelong in 2020.
