There would be a lot less stoppages. However in a contested ball situation players would either take the risk of possession or move the ball on quicker (punch tap kick) which makes the game faster and will in attacking situation cause more goals. Both of which the AFL has been manipulating the rules for years to try and achieve.

It is ironic that the AFL wishes to encourage players to take possession when in many instances this leads to a stoppage -which they have been trying to get rid of for years.

I see what you're saying, but right now, the very best stoppages are tap, to quick hands out to a running player, kick inside 50. Let's encourage more quick hands, fast ball movement. First to the ball will still be advantageous, as long as you have numbers, and quick hands. Coaches who coach a be 2nd and tackle the player that gets the ball type strategy will quickly get out coached!!!

Rowsus 2,171 Bradshaw. Decent C pick cost me the 2,200.

Wife 2,155 Dunkley.

 

[Dazza]

J. Daicos 2 big 1st quarters in his last 2 games and then the next 3 quarters not sighted, which he ended with 2 scores in the 60s, glad I turfed him for Action Jackson this week

 

[Zimmer]

Lost another close one in P2. Gulden

 

[Shannon]

2100 all out

 

[donnybuang]

2221

 

[T0land's T00ls]

does anyone have a link to a fixture analysis re who plays late games to get for a loop?

 

[Juzzo]

About 5 times today, we've seen guys standing up in the tackle, ball held to them, but they're still trying to run, to break the tackle. No attempt to get rid of it. That should negate prior opportunity. Free kick for holding the ball. If you don't pay the free 2 things happen. You're giving the guy with the ball 2 bites at the cherry. Or you're basically forcing the tackler to sling him, or drag him to ground heavily.
How about this?
Get rid of no prior opportunity. Every single tackle that causes a stoppage results in a free kick. Illegal tackles penalized, all others rewarded. Result? Players will dispose of the ball more, and more quickly. A lot less stoppages. Game more open and free flowing, which is what just about every rule change in the past 10 years has wanted to achieve!!!

Agree, players are talented enough to dispose of the ball quickly. The whole holding the ball rule has been a debacle for years now, and probably attributed to some concussions.

Huge!

2011 for me. Well off the pace this week

 

[jobeywatto]

2158.

Meh. So many bad scores this round for me. Laird captain saved me somewhat.

 

[Tamuhawk]

2187 (Dunks)

Won all my league matches! Lowest scorer in my best 18 was my rookie Wardlaw's 94. Shame on you Steele (85), Green (77) & Gulden (62). A pair of 100s from Naicos & Gawn ending on a high note.

 

[Connoisseur]

See ya Lloyd. 2168 with Daicos to come and 84 the new low that needs to be exceeded.

Daicos with a 110 drops the 84 to finish on 2194 with a low of 94 from Wardlaw.

2099 Tracca

Well done. Highest in all my Leagues is 2,233, so you've got all those teams covered!

 

[Dazza]

2/10 league wins tells me my 2050 score didn’t cut the mustard
