It happens every year, so we shouldn’t be surprised. The Giesch’s mob have changed the rules again. If you’ve been watching games from the first two rounds of 2013, perhaps you’ve noticed players being thrown to the ground, or hoisted out of packs, after losing possession of the ball?
AussieRulesBlog is sure it was only last year that free kicks were paid against players who hung on for the merest fraction of a second after an opponent had disposed of the ball. What irked up most about that situation was the same ruling was used when the tackle knocked the ball free. On many, many occasions, the tackling player had no way of knowing that the tackled player no longer had the ball.
You’ll also have noticed that the interpretations of push in the back and forceful contact below the knees have softened after only one round!
It’s boring, we know, but why can’t we have the same interpretation applying from the very first bounce of pre-season to the last seconds of the Grand Final? What is so damned difficult about that?
Release the Giesch!
