Episode notes
Sheriff's Quick 'Bang Bang' Against Taunting
- Gerard Healy praises AFL "Sheriff" Andrew Dillon's swift penalties for taunting, describing it as 'bang bang' enforcement.
- He says the quick warning shot sent a strong message to prevent demeaning opponents and reduce bullying.
Remove The Two Big Rule
- Do scrap the "two big" rule that penalises tall forwards for their size and restricts fair contests.
- Ken cites Charlie Dixon and Sam Darcy as examples where being 6'10" is treated as a disadvantage and should not be.
Stop Taggers From Holding Players
- Do clamp down on holding by taggers to stop defensive negation of opposition play.
- Ken says he still sees taggers holding players at games and wants enforcement to prevent that cheap defensive practice.
