The Rushed Behind Rule...

[HillHero13]

if they can't get it right then don't do it at all..

1) Josh Carr on his knees in the goal square and no pressure.. called a point

2) Henry Slattery being tackled accros the line called deliberate rushed behind


this on is sort of out there..

3) Chad Cornes v Essendon 3 port players running towards Essendon goal... essendon player drops off..
Chad Cornes the taps it into the points with 3 port players  there.. Called a point..

If they can't do it right then why bring in the rule anyway... it's costing games...

[roo boys!]

I would also like to point out that all three of these examples are from an Essendon supporter commenting on how unfair it is towards Port and against Essendon. Sore loser?

For sure Hillz, Even the players themselves are not quite sure what is allowed and what is not. Clearly the rush behind that was paid right next to Buddy was deliberate. What constitutes as under pressure though? Another player with in 5 metres? What does the player need to be doing?. Buddy wasn't even tackling him or even about to apply any pressure. There are players running all over the joint and it is rare that no one is standing around when the pressure is on in the goal square.
There are many occasions where it was not paid and it should have been.
As for Slattery well...

The rules.
