Stop beating around the bush and sitting on the fence ZIps. Tell us what you really thinkOnly a dumb prick could introduce such a ridiculous rule.
It hasn't improve nothing in the game
What I’m saying is we can’t get our hands on the ball to begin with , -30 contested most weeks , tells me we have greater issues with our supply line midfield than what angle we allow the oppo to kick off , you think that’s why we lost games you got rocks in your headThe 2 best forward half turnover teams were us and port Adelaide in 2020. We both loved playing the game in our forward half. Lock it in and prevent teams an easy outlet. A big part was forcing a long kick to a contest. The stand rule has provided the ball carrier more options. The 45 short kick either side of the man on the mark is now available. The pressure and perceived pressure we could create on the player with the ball has reduced. So we aren’t getting the opportunity to turn it over from that long kick. If you think this hadn’t impacted our game plan you have rocks in your head.
This is/was by design. Hardwick has said plenty of times that it is a game of turnovers. We structure up to cause turnovers and punish on the counter attack at the expense of conceding first possession which are usually contested. It worked pretty well for 4 seasons.What I’m saying is we can’t get our hands on the ball to begin with , -30 contested most weeks , tells me we have greater issues with our supply line midfield than what angle we allow the oppo to kick off , you think that’s why we lost games you got rocks in your head

Not drilled for it, and not skilled for it.
Will have to change our drafting skill sets.
t the VFL had different rules to the AFL and made transitioning from one comp to the other more difficult. Does someone know these differences - I like to see if they also contributed.
I like Hopper, what's his contract status?yes.
we have drafted engines/speed/toughs for years.
Any pivot on game plan will have to be subtle.
I reckon there's signs we are taking the forwards pressure to Half Back,
and rebounding, rather than turning over.
We need to recruit the next J McGovern with a golden gloves title and a Stawell gift medal (in addition to Notorius)
obviously, we need a couple of proper clearance mids.
Jacob Hopper priority 1 for me.
Randell has previously shown himself to be a twit.Well well well… some media on this rule just popped up in my news feed.
Three clubs have been “found out” by the stand rule this season

cONTESTed , sharing around some uncontested ball is pufferyYou think?
you do know in terms of possession differentials (us v oppo) we effectively get the ball more this year than in our premiership years? That we were
2017 - -10
2018 - -16
2019 - -19
2020 - -11
2021 - -3
So don’t tell me it’s about getting our hands on the ball.
