Oh dear time for an instant AFL rule change to fix up the shortcoming in the rule change I recall in response with Brendan Gale from Richmond walking down the clock with points in hand in a close one with kickouts in the past-
https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/storm-erupts-after-massive-aflw-finals-controversy/news-story/c20609421c1f8b845ab4ff152bd03eb8

It's like this AFL numpties. Everywhere else on the field if in the opinion of the umpire a player deliberately causes the ball to go out of play then a free kick is awarded to the other team in order to keep the contest rolling along. Clearly that was the case with Zoe Prowse here but then North get virtually rewarded with TWO free kicks and a certain goal. Huh! To maintain consistency and obviate the Gale scheme simply award the point and the kickout free kick is sacrificed to a throw-in from where Prowse deliberately took it out of play. Wakey wakey AFL and fix this before anymore finals.

PS: and if you blokes do it immediately in response to the women's game you'll look real woke and no harm done as the Crows get another crack  :cup:

This article about professional football jogged my memory about an interesting fact I heard about AFL footballers-
https://www.msn.com/en-au/sport/other/i-made-my-man-utd-debut-under-alex-ferguson-now-i-m-32-and-work-as-a-postman/ar-AA1wvAP5

It was a couple of years back and talking to one of the guru guests on the afternoon radio footy show in a discussion of the draft he asked the compares what average number of AFL games did they think a player played that had his name called out in the draft? Bearing in mind there had been some discussion about players getting too much dough and it wasn't like the good old days with playing for the guernsey yada yada.

The answer was 20 games average at that stage which sure caused a pregnant pause and shocked disbelief and killed that train of thought.
