So what happens if the player kicking in kicks straight to an opponent who then plays on and kicks a goal all whilst the goal umpire is waving the flag from the previous behind...?
Stupid rule.
Stupid rule.

Re: Re: the quick kick-in rule
They were basically too chicken to just get rid of the flags and risk upsetting the oldies. I don't remember anyone caring when they ditched the lab coat and moustache uniforms though.Comment

As a goal umpire myself (Winston Hills U9's no less) I am quite happy to stand on the goal line with my white coat and flags during footy season.
I'm even inclined to do it during cricket season...

I'm not so worried about the Quick Kick in rule. I dont agree with it, but I dont think It's always going to occur. Just cause you can kick in straight away doesn't mean you will, if there's still no option available.Comment

It just seems pointless. Why mess with it?
Maybe because of the fumble Tadgh had in the GF when trying to kick out before the flags were waved. If it was play-on WCE could have scored a goal. Is it that type of situation where you get a second chance that they are trying to eliminate?
The umpires should all be in their proper position before play resumes and this rule prevents that.
If they want to speed up the game how about not waiting for the ads to finish before they have a centre bounce?"My theory is that the universe is made out of stupidity because it's more plentiful than hydrogen" - Frank ZappaComment

1) It makes too much sense and
2) Sacrifice the almighty dollar? Wash your mouth out...

They did in fact address this issue in the recent review which has resulted in these rule changes as one of the reasons that games went on much longer than they used to - oddly enuff, they didn't see fit to change it.Originally posted by Dave

I assume it's because play gets under way quicker and without teams having time to sett up defensively it means that the team with the ball has more chance of taking the ball forward rather than chip it around in their D50.Originally posted by Dave

Because people watching on TV will miss each bounce. Also, I think they are trying to speed up game play not necessarily finish the game sooner.If they want to speed up the game how about not waiting for the ads to finish before they have a centre bounce?Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

That is only a problem since they started showing an ad for every goal. This is the real reason they want to cut down on "ugly" football. More goals = more ads = more revenue.Originally posted by NMWBloods
