I was at tonights game, unfortunately!
One thing I noticed, I've always been right into my footy, was I have lost the feel for the way the game is adjudicated. Every time a contest was on. I was thinking is a whistle going to sound, when it did I was thinking what for.
The AFL in their wisdom has decided over summer to play around with the rules.
What I don't understand is, who are the rules being changed for. In the media, players & coaches don't seem impressed. Supporters are confused & not supportive.
I did notice there was more contests tonight, but they weren't footy contests, they were like rebounds in basketball, where who ever can jump the highest wins. Now in my eyes, that is why I am not a basketball fan, I like players to have to have to contest with phsicallity, strength & leap, judgement- everything that goes towards a traditional AFL (aussie rules, I think they are now becoming a different product) mark or loose/hard ball contest.
All in all the game is now super soft. The changes by the AFL have been made. Who they & why they have been made is anyones guess, but I am yet to come across anyone or a majority of a body say they are step in the right direction.
Why does the AFL insist on making our game so over officiated & soft?
