Question

As Paul Roos, sez, "This is the only game in the world where you actually have to hand over a bit of paper before you are actually allowed on the playing field. It just seems a bit ridiculous to me."

When ,Leigh, McKenna, Wallace, Thompson & other come out complaining - one wondwers of our decision makers.

Hey, easy on Swans, we just got caught, theres plenty of others on record, they just didnt get as nastier fine as Swans!

Answer 5

Answer 6

Mate it's a joke, they are a joke( the AFL) they are annoying fans no end, these two new teams will be a waste of money and this new rule is just stupid,   how easy would it be, keep their little holding pen area, hold a batten, when the bloke you are replacing comes off, give it to him, then he hangs onto it til he goes back on, too easy.

It has happened more than once 'brutally honest', i heard  Neil Balme on radio SEN with KB saying collingwood had an extra man for over 8 minutes, the other side, who he wouldn't name actually made up 20 odd points, then when the 'realised' their mistake they fixed up the problem and ended up winning by the 20 odd. Balm reckons it's true story.

Answer 7

Yes, they have.

As someone said about Aussie Rules - there are too manmy of them,.

Answer 8

Answer 10

absolutely rediculous aye. like someone said i think on the footy show recently, 150 years of playing this game only ONE incident has occured, so they feel the need to change rules. sooo bad. and this week, if you do it wrong, a free kick will be awarded to the other team for a set shot at goal. crazy aint it

Answer 11

Answer 12

Very stupid rule, Just because the Swans cant follow simple rules, The rest of the league suffers.
