Agree, but removing the runner from the field was also a positive changeOf all the rule changes the only one I really like is 666. The evening up of numbers from a centre square restart I think is a good thing.

Just expecting them to scrap the STAND rule now Hardwick is in charge of the suns and the Tigers are no longer the kings.
Not sure why you're quoting me?2015 The AFL Old Boys Club sign off on NORFLOL's BScott's decision to rest 9 NINE of his players agin RFC in the last game of the Season!
Cos we were playing NORFLOL in the first Final!
All above board apparently and passed the integrity test!
Next year The AFL Old Boys Club decided to bring in a pre-season bye to avoid a repetition of BScott's un-sportsman like, and not a good look, decision to rest large numbers of playas before the Final series.
Its just a way of manning the mark. The 50m penalty: too severe.Bloody hope so, terrible rule.

Amen. Not just for what it did to us, but most of the competition.Bloody hope so, terrible rule.

Because if we won and the swans lost we had a good chance to be 4th and get the double chance.2015 last round< what happened. Freo & North rested players. Why didn't we? We were 5th them 8th
Last round was vs North. Which we won. We seemed to be 5th for the last couple of weeks coming into the finals after 3 or 4 good winsBecause if we won and the swans lost we had a good chance to be 4th and get the double chance.
Sydney were playing the suns but it was the right thing to have a go at top 4
They could not have gone down. Could have gone up with a good win but probably preferred to play us than the Bulldogs. Despite the good year I think we were still considered soft by some.Last round was vs North. Which we won. We seemed to be 5th for the last couple of weeks coming into the finals after 3 or 4 good wins
I think North might have been clear in the 8
Every team has players who could do with a bit of a rest coming into the finals.
Back in those days no week off? Right.
Yes so if the suns had beaten the swans we may have pinched the double chance but we needed to winLast round was vs North. Which we won. We seemed to be 5th for the last couple of weeks coming into the finals after 3 or 4 good wins

I was quoting a AFL rule change, or so I thought!Not sure why you're quoting me?
My post was about VFL/AFL being mad for rule changes since 1969.
I saw the final sadly.
No break
