No one has asked him about these rules why?,
who cares about home ground advantage and ground sizes. They had inside assistance to change the rules to topple their main threat and achieved success on the back of that. Well done to them and their cheating ways I say.

1. 666 rule to stop us using an extra man from the back of the square
2. kick in rule change to stop us holding the ball in our f50
3. stand rule to stop us manning the mark aggressively

Well done S Hocking. Masterstroke.

The EFL (Eastern footy league) have dropped the stand rule and the nomination of rucks. Seems they're a bit more progressive than Mr Shocking.

My son plays juniors in EFL. Asked him about stand rule, he replied that he never bothered moving on the mark anyway so won’t affect him!!

My EFNL Umpire mates will be very happy, they didn't like those rules much at all.

Another rule rushed in by limpdick Hocking. Now just get rid of the “stand” rule crap. Give us back our game you corrupt bastards!

Just read this. I wonder if there's any Richmond clauses.

I don’t get this latest change.

Didn’t they want to slow down player movement by introducing limited interchange, the stand rule etc?

Now there is essentially a 5th player on the bench?

Seems to fly in the face of what they were originally trying to achieve to me.

What a fuucking joke.

Should be 3 on the bench & a tactical sub. The game just got another turbo injection. Get prepared to see more collision injuries next season.

Too many 12 year olds running the joint.

Essentially a 5 man IC now.

The ruck nomination rule is fine. How will they police blocking of ruckmen if there is no nomination assuming third man up is still invalid?

Penalise third man is the new rule I believe. The umps, will monitor for blocking I assume.
