Removing bouncing the ball around the ground and now ruckmen can't grapple at the stoppages.

Will be interesting to see which Ruckmen manage to adapt better than others. I daresay it could drastically improve some teams.

I am not at all happy about the "rucking" rules, are we playing Basketball, Netball or footy? ???

I think it says that rucks can't grapple until the ball has left the ump's hands

I see the ruck situation as a huge win for the Hawks.
