Change of rules since kangas game

[swan_song]

Interesting that the AFL have made a rule change since we played the Kangaroos, but not many people are aware of it...

The old rule: David King pushes Nick Davis into the square at a centre bounce...free kick to North...result...goal!

The new rule: J Brown pushes Damien Hardwick into centre square at a centre bounce...free kick to Port Adelaide...result...goal.

And that twerp umpire on Black & White Line fever says umpires' decisions never influence the result of a game....

There has been no rule change - its always been the rule if you push someone into the square a free kick is paid against you. With the King one, it wasn't picked up on the night, but there hasn't been a rule change since, Brown was unlucky he got caught doing it where King didn't
