i agree that the 'hands in the back' rule is a disgrace to our game, it's taking the contest out of the game and many supporters are clearly confused and frustrated with the rule. As a field umpire i hate it when i have to pay a free kick under the rule but im sure so many umpires out there want the rule to be thrown out at season's end just like myself.

it is just riddiculous that there needs to be such black and white explanation such as if the hands are in the back then it is a free the umpires need to be given the authority to use thier own discresion and it is then pretty obvious what should be a free and what shouldn't be. leave it up the common scence or our game will lose those one on one marking contests that our game is so loved for. do we really want that?

This rule is the best way to turn fans off football. I came to this game from a Rugby background because I wanted to see Tony Lockett and Barry Hall kick goals at full forward. Now I love the game, and I want to see other full forwards take contested marks and kick goals. Why doesn't the AFL want this? Do they want the sort of football that Hawks vs Saints played, where there was no contested marks? Boring. If the rule doesn't go, people will leave the game. FIFA doesn't arbitrarily change rules

The rule is a disgrace. I believe it is not consistent enough, and the game was perfectly fine as it was before. If you had to introduce it, why didn't you trial it first?

If you find you have to ban something each year ban backwards play, its really annoying me.

There is a difference between a push in the back which should be unlawful, and hands in the back. Get rid of the hands in the back rule!
