I think he's mentored them very well. He's taught them how to; duck into tackles to earn a free, take a dive when an opponent goes near them, coward punch them behind play, etc.

His intent IS relevant. That's why they call it "deliberate". Otherwise, the rul would apply to the last person to touch it. Frankly, I would prefer that rule as the current interpretation isn't working.
Correct. The two players arrived at the ball at a similar time. Rohan knew he had the leg speed advantage so kicked the ball into the open so he could use his leg speed to his advantage. He must have been 40m from the boundary, he kicked it along the ground, the ball could have deviated in any direction during that time.
Agree with pretty much all of this.
Newman has a raking left boot, I'd prefer for him to look long but overall his disposal is very good. Cannot believe how easily he has made the step up from the NEAFL.
Towers is keeping his spot on merit and I hope his confidence can improve, he is working his butt off and I can't see him being dropped any time soon. He had his breakout game against Freo in that final a coupe of years ago and I really thought he could become a star for us but he has faltered. Maybe he can have another breakout game.
Still can't see Macca playing on next year but Reg is looking timeless at the moment.
A few rules rely on opinion, not fact. As long as that is the case, there will be controversy.
Kicking the ball out of bounds on the full always pays a free kick because it is a fact-based rule. It is a far less controversial rule.
It would be less controversial if they scrapped the deliberate out of bounds and brought in a last-possession rule. If the player had a clean possession (including a ruck tap) and the ball goes out of bounds but not on the full from that possession, some kind of free should be paid to the opposition. But not a free kick. They should handpass the ball back into play with every other player being 10 metres away.

My opinion is objective truth in its purest form
There would still be controversy. I think it is just the nature of our game. People will be arguing over clean possession and players would still try and fumble a ball over the line (deliberately, but disguised), which may or may not be penalised.
