How long before the Bowden Rule is introduced? Brent Guerra got a bruised fist from all the handballs back across the goal line.
These incidents didn't, thankfully, impact meaningfully on the game, but they were unfailingly ugly. The Bowden Manoeuvre is, at the very least, unadventurous and unsporting.

Do not think the rule needs to be changed at all. Im tired of the AFL knee-jerking and changing everything just for the sake of it (ie: interchange and boundary)
Ah, yes! AFL knee-jerking! Good point. This situation has grown from a recent change itself — the immediate kickout without waiting for the goalie to do their stuff. Perhaps it’s THAT rule that needs to be revisited? However it’s done, the Bowden Manoeuvre is a gold-plated blight on the game and it should be excised ASAP.
