Much has been written about this rule and how it is affecting our game plan but it is only because our coaching staff have let it.
The stand rule can be negated by the player on the mark conceding 5 metres and then they can move any where they want.
I rang the club 2 months ago and asked the club employee to pass this onto the coaches for their consideration.
Briefly put all the way up the ground until the back of the square our players should concede 5 metres on the mark and then the stand rule doesn't apply so the can move
sideways or backwards as in previous seasons. This means we can go back to our previous game plan at the cost of conceding 5 metres each time a mark or free is
awarded. the reason I refer to the back of the square is you don't want to concede 5 metres to put players within goal kicking distance.
A simple adjustment to how we play but either the suggestion was not passed on or just ignored and at the time I didn't post is on here as I hoped I might get us an advantage
but as there has been no change I am putting it out there for discussion.
