Good to see you are still thinking both on & off the field. Now to get some of our hard working volunter umpires at the local level to do the same Cheers Roscoe

Excellent article on the new rule Eddie. It is great to hear the feelings of the players. Certainly from the spectators point of view I think the new rule is fantastic because of the speed, but boy I agree with you re the inconsistency.
It was hard for us (well me at least) to get a feeling that it was always umpired the same.
Nonetheless I agree. great to see the game evolving.
Pity help the poor old style full backs from past years who didn’t have to run much. Like the AFL it seems to me that more and more we are relying on speed now, but it is great to watch.
Hope all is well in Amsterdam.
Go the Cats !!!!
Cheers
Bren

Good post Ed, you bring up a lot of valid points. What I found annoying about the new rule interpretation when I read it is that it was still far too grey in the role of the defender. Once a free hit is given away by a defender, at what point are they considered to be able to re-enter the contest with the ball? My understanding was that it was an automatic yellow card if the defender infringed too early. From watching AHL finals, I thought there was going to be a number of yellow cards awarded however defenders were able to just back off 5 metres with the attacker dribbling the ball, and once they made the 5 metre mark they re-entered the contest. FIH need to sort that out!
