This (may) be my last post on this subject. The AFL have given us all their 'verdict' on the Taylor Adams 'sliding in' free kick and of course, like the biased dumb bastards they are, have given it the thumbs up!
Ump got it right, but Pie questions rule - AFL.com.au
I implore everybody to read Adams thoughts (I agree 100% with him), especially this bit,
"Adams said the interpretation had shifted in recent years and had gone away from why it had been introduced in the first place."........this is exactly my point.
Also, listen carefully to the commentary. Now I know we don't rate the Ch 7 commentators but I think they actually reflect the thoughts of, well at least
most, sensible footy fans and players on this one, a noble rule repeatedly judged incorrectly.....and
I ask yet again, what is wrong with going to ground? Why are acts of desperation being discouraged? Why do the AFL think they can make a brutal contact sport 100% safe? If what you want is 'no injuries' in Australian Rules Football......you must ban the game. Yes, I agree, that is just stupid.....about as stupid as trying to make it 100% safe. Never going to happen.......
