...just being too picky? The hands on back rule.(used to be... push in the back rule)
The no throwing the ball rule. ( these days, more and more players are throwing the ball rather than handpass)
The rush behind rule.
The out of bounds rule.
The interchange rule.
The subsitute rule.
The hitting of arms rule.
The free kick against a player when he goes up for a mark and does not mark it because its considered go up to early.( but its called a mark, when the player marks it)
and so on........there are so many rules that are questionable and debatable. Rules that have been changed or implemented for the sake of doing it. Or in the eyes of the AFL..changes that will make the game better and safer.
Edit... @ chrisarrow...if you read this question, you may be thinking that I am looking for anything that the AFL is doing wrong, but its what I'm trying to point out and many, many other followers feel too. Just click on a few footy sites and just read the anger the fans have about these pathetic rules/laws.
Yes its enjoyable to watch, but clearly the players are very unhappy with whats going on. Now the players are told not to tweet the anger on any social networks...wheres the freedom of speech? so to speak.Why, because the AFL knows that the players are unhappy and does not want the image of this soft brand of footy to have so much media coverage.
