Nope, a 25mtr penalty is even more stupid than the stand rule! If the player in possession fakes a handball attempting to draw a 50mtr penalty just call play on!

Players should be allowed to think through their decisions before disposing of the football. The whole ‘faking’ terminology is incorrect. Players should be allowed to change their mind as to how they release the footy while they are in possession. They aren’t robots capable of making the correct decision within milliseconds. As long as they don’t run off the mark there shouldn’t be a play on call.Again there are suggestions to tinker/add rules to help better facilitate a new one rather than just getting rid of the stupid thing in the first place. Is there anyone in the media who has said the rule should be abolished? It’s like everyone’s been given a directive to say how much they love it.

Play on!
Again why are we trying to redefine/edit rules that have been around 100 years just to help better govern a 1 year old stupid rule?
I may be remembering incorrectly but didn’t they use to put rule changes to a panel and also let the coaches have input and then trial them in preseason before deciding whether to implement them or not? All of which were bypassed by Hocking for this stupid stand rule?
