An independent, intellectual (and hopefully occasionally amusing) approach to all things Aussie Rules - analysis, opinions and news.
As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, it’s time we start discussing an AFL version of the “Captain’s Challenge”

Without question.

Have to disagree. Not every rule change is adding complexity. I would argue it does the opposite (and removes pressure on the umps).

Rankine’s was only one of several incidents in the last qtr that went the way of the Suns. But for the record, if not a mark, it was definitely a free kick.

It would have to be tweaked for AFL (bc there are too many opportunities/ie, so many umpiring errors), but the umpires are influencing outcomes too often these days imo.

Always a shame when a great game is tarnished by the performance of umpires.

Crows fans can rightfully hard done by that final quarter.
