Re: Wizard Cup rules-how they will affect us.
If there's several unmarked players behind the play; as is so often the case in these situations, then there's still plenty of scope to waste some time by doing the chipping around.
The 9-pointer goal rule will be interesting. Anthony Rocca's a better shot at goal from 70m than he is from 20m; but there's not too many other players who can consistently bomb them from that range. And I doubt too many coaches would be really interested in trying to encourage them, although in the heat of the moment it'll be interesting to see what players ignore a team-mate's lead and have a death-or-glory stab at it.

The rule that I find most interesting is that every kick that goes backwards outside your attacking 50 m line is going to be play-on.
This should help stop some of the boring chip-passing around you get by teams winning during the last quarters of tight matches. Whether such a radical rule should be thought about for the fair-dinkum footy season is highly highly debatable. Especially when it is basically creating an "offside" situation that the umps will have to make an immediate call on.
