Three point rushed behind - Yes or no?(poll)

Yep, 3 points sounds far enough.
Penalise negative play !!
BTW no more kicking backwards apart from the f50.

This idea is entertaining in the NAB, but it'll be silly to change the game as we know it, silly.

Agree.
Leave the rules as they are.
Geez theyve already screwed this great game enough trying to turn it into touch footy so parents will let their kids play.
The 70's and 80's were brutal periods in AFL and NRL yet there was never a shortage of kids lining up to play.
The AFL won't be happy until the scores read Team A 3.1.0.15.9.12.164 d Team B 5.1.1.11.3.4.155. It keeps the rule-changers in a job.
I suppose it would be one way to synthetically arrest the declining scoring rate caused by playing keepings-off.

I really like the idea of having a hot-spot bounce. It would punish teams enough not to use it all the time. I thought we had to change the rules after I saw Chris Newman rush a behind (he was behind the line when the ump called play on) near the end of a close game Vs Brisbane, thus being able to snuff out all of Brisbanes chances. This isnt fair I thought (despite my jubilation).
Imagine the excitement near the end of a game

True enough mauve runners.
I absolutely abhor the 9 pointer.
This is also why I am against the 3 point change despite my interest in penalty for a deliberately rushed behind..
The point scoring of our game is difficult enough to understand for those not familiar with it just by having goals and points eg 16.10.106 when you start introducing 9 pointers and 3 pointers, the scoreboard just gets messy, ugly and more complicated than it already is eg L2R's example above.
Its easily fixed. Take the goal posts out. Goals now are where the "point" posts are. Anything going through is a goal. Solves everything. No rushed points, more goals and a much more simple scoreline. What the hell does the "rules committee" do?Tigers of Old said:True enough mauve runners.

Time to think outside the square a bit.

Very good Willo but don't let Anderson know about this idea.

Yeah, and put in a cross-bar between the two posts to limit the height you are allowed to kick a goal. This means you can employ numerically-challenged score keepers.
And let's bring in a rule to say that the goal kicker must have two defenders between him and the goal at the time the pass was made to him.
Nah, the rules we already have are OK and were created before someone thought of Soccer.
