Centre circle to be enlarged

[ScottH]

"Under the new rule each ruckmen's run-up must begin within the ten metre circle and ruckmen still cannot cross the centre line before the ball has been bounced."

The full new ruck law reads as follows:

"The centre bounce or throw up shall be contested by one nominated player from each team. Such player shall be nominated to the field umpire prior to the bounce or throw of the football. The player contesting the centre bounce shall be positioned in his or her team's defensive half of the playing surface and with both feet within the 10-metre circle. The player may only enter the team?s attacking half after the football touches the ground in the act of bouncing or leaves the field umpire?s hand in the act of being thrown up. The player shall not be permitted to block an opponent's approach to the contest. Ruckmen must have both feet inside the centre circle at all times until they contest the bounce or until the umpire calls play-on due to an 'offline bounce'. No other player may enter the 10-metre circle until the football touches the ground in the act of bouncing or is thrown up by the field umpire."

will the ruckman be writing that down on their hands?
