Still no manners

What happens in the missing 53 years?
Well, we won despite getting screwed once again by the cheating umpires.
At 3/4 time we had only received 6 frees....that is for 3 quarters of footy.
At least we managed to finally get 10, but one was in the last seconds of the game.
Effectively we only got 9 frees for the whole game, and not sure how many of those were for oonf.

Still wondering why Nank was told to play on in a frantic moment. Marked the ball and then just 5 seconds later the flog blew the whistle when Nank was ready to line up.
They love shafting us most weeks. And it’s noticeable how we hardly get any 50m penalties yet the oppo do for similar situations.
*smile* the maggots. Some idiot might think they'll make a tasty feed one day, but not a chance in hell the bastards will ever be on my plate.
Yes, that is the link, no change to the handball definition in the missing years, you can see that by the fact it is 1 word different from the definition back in the 1970s.
As I said earlier, what has changed is technique, and the decision by the AFL has clearly been to not call the overhead handballs (which were not common years ago, but probably happened occasionally) and marginal handballs as throws. No rule change, not even really an interpretation change. What happened is the players pushed the boundary of what is a handball and they decided that it was ok.
The trouble is that we are seeing, week after week, blatant throws which contradict the rule as written by the AFL and as published by the AFL, and they are not penalised. It is all part of the AFL's quest to reduce the number of free kicks per game even if this means not paying all the infringements the umpires see. It is a recipe for the grossly inconsistent mess we currently see.

Yep no idea. But didn’t apply to GWS players.
And yes he gives frees away but the opposition are allowed to make contact to his head whenever they like. Three I saw today and nothing. He breathes on an opposition player and it’s a free.
Cheating bastards.
Taranto held with 2 hands around the head, he didn’t duck.
Nank nearly had his head torn off his shoulders, play on.
I forget who it was, Short? Had the kick GWS took a long step toward him after being told to stand, play on.
GWS ruckman, clear and blatant throw, called by the commentators ,play on
How many htb decisions were just let go when our players had them cold. Especially the last qtr. Commentators even called them
On and on it goes. They can gagf. Cheating, corrupt, inept pricks

No frees against Nanks today. Maybe that's why umps were so frustrated and wouldn't give him a free either.
Bolton was being held as well. They managed to see the frees against us. Today was terrible umpiring. We very rarely get a holding the ball free.
I see up to 1970 and I see 2023 what about the 53 years in between?
Because there might just have been some pretty big changes in that period especially around the rules and who controlled them
You really are clutching at straws.
The rule reads the same as it did in 1970, the grammar and the sentence are the same with a couple of words different.
There is no evidence of a rule change to the handball rule since 1966, have a look here: https://www.afl.com.au/about-afl/history/rule-changes It is a pretty badly put together page but there is no change to the definition of a handball.
In any case, this started when you claimed that they should never have allowed players to handball from above their head. As I pointed out, and as the rules show, that was never outside the definition of a handball.

Yeh noticed him being held at lots of stoppages yet he couldn’t get a free at any.
He just gets on with it though. Admirable
there were a couple of lucky ones our way. The himmelburg OOF that wasn’t resulted in a goal. The Toby non mark/free that wasn’t paid. No doubt Toby kicks that goal.
They missed a few obvious ones but didn’t think it was their worst game this year.
There was an advantage paid yo GWS that resulted in a goal to them. Part of the advantage included Tom Greene getting tackled and dropping it. It spilled to GWS. Ump paid advantage after the illegal disposal. The ball should have gone back to the original free.
We won so the umps CGAGF.
