But the player would still need to try to dispose of it, similar to union

Dead ball rule like in Union at end of play
I.e. quarter time/half-time/three-quarter time/full time siren is a warning; ball is still live when siren sounds, until it is "dead" again; a goal is scored or either out on the full, a kick in from a behind or free kick where the winning team is in possession.
If the winning team has possession when the siren sounds, they can simply put their hands up similar to the advantage rule to indicate they want the time to end as they control where the ball is dead or not
Also yellow cards/sin bin situations. I don't think red cards would be executed correctly

Consistent use of clash jumpers.
Looking at you Carlton

they need to crack down on it more. How often do you see a player run to far and not get pinged.

I just don't know how people expect umps to be consistent with this rule
When was the last time the league de-implemented a rule?
I would actually like to see some many taken away:
I would actually like to see some many taken away:
- The stand rule. A flash in the pan that nobody respects anymore. All the players move before play on is called.
- Ruck nominations. Just lighten the load on umpires. Common sense says that if more than two rucks compete, it's a free kick.
- Prior opportunity. I've had it. If you're caught holding onto the ball and you can't dispose of it legally then it's a free kick against. That'll clear up your dangerous tackling issue as well, seeing as how there'll be 50 less tackles per game.
- Hands in the back. I'd like to see this one taken away, so that it can be re-instated and actually respected by the umpires.
- Whatever rule it is that makes umpires explain decisions afterwards to the defenders standing on the mark, who always keep complaining anyway. What a waste of breath. Just encourages players to curry favour with umpires.
- Insufficient intent. It's a good rule, but will be simpler once it's changed to any kick that goes out of bounds, on the full or not, is a free kick to the opposition. It can only be a throw-in if a player is pushed or tackled out-of-bounds, if it's a spoil or off hands. Deliberate free kicks will still be paid if a player intentionally hand-passes or runs over the line with the ball, as it does now. Just leave out the insufficient intent bit, we're the only game in the world who asks the umpires to guess what the players strategy is.
If the ball from a throw in goes over the nominated ruckman head, it's play on even if it hasn't touched the ground.
Only happened a couple of times, but one day it'll be in the dying stages of an important game.

How would you implement this rule without ending up with players letting opponents take possession in order to tackle them and win an almost guaranteed free kick.
Growing up we’re always taught that if you’re first to the footy the umpires will look after you, this is the complete opposite of that.
Never should've been removed.
Third man up cleared congestion. As soon as a team did it, the remaining contests teams kept players back, which opened the game up for elite midfields
Hallelujah ................... 100% agree !!!
Hands in the back or on the shoulders in a marking duel ............. its a ****ing free kick everywhere else on the gorund so why is it different there ??
Deliberate OOB ................ FMD, if there is a 'greyer' area in the game please tell me.
Don't care if you run the ball over the line or bounce it out, just throw it in straight away with no penalty, and I mean straight away. Those snot-coloured dweebs look around and practice their technique and THEN throw it in.
MEMO TO BOUNDARY UMPS : you are not that important !!

If a team wants to have 12 players contesting a ruck contest then so be it, stop wasting time having the field umpire nominate who is contesting, its playground crap !!!
Just throw it in the air and back out of there quickly, the game needs to be restarted, not bogged down with minutiae.

Staging penalties have been removed by stealth. They just ignore it now knowing the media will move on.
Massive overreaction to that game when Joel Bowden milked it 3-4 times.
Get rid of the 'deliberate' aspect, if a team wants to do it then it is on the attacking team to adjust their game accordingly.
Overreaction after a lot of media people lost big money on the 2008 grand final

I reckon it should only be deliberate if the player disposes of it inside his defensive 50. Simple and no grey area.
Nope. Go the 40-20/20-40 rule of rugby league.
If it travels a certain distance (maybe from inside 50 to the other side of the centre square) its not deliberate.
Doesn't go that distance, deliberate

Advantage needs to be changed to like how it is in rugby or soccer. How many times do we see an umpire blow his whistle for a free kick, pay advantage half a second later, and then player stops to take a free kick but it is too late. So dumb. And when players pause after a whistle and then the player with the ball just runs off
Ruck contests needs to be sorted out. Neither ruck knows who gets the free. Need a clear set of guidelines for ruck contests.
Advantage rule is shit. Copy soccer's rule. Once an umpire blows his whistle play should stop

I'd ask myself, why do the ruckmen need to separate 1 meter but the absolute instant the ball is released by an umpire they're allowed to jostle for position?
They trialed this years, but the fans had no idea it was advantage.
Also, the 4 umpires, so if an umpire away from the play pays something, it won't be known by anyone.
Better to allow true advantage, where the team calls it. Arm wave or something, I don't know

Shouldn't even be a consideration for rules.
The simple fix would be that advantage can only be paid by the "in-zone" umpire. If an out of zone umpire pays a free, then you can't play advantage from it.
