Garry Lyon and Tim Watson have given their thoughts on the footage of the AFL’s new ‘stand’ rule that appeared on social media yesterday.
Footage from an Essendon intra-club game showed midfielder Kyle Langford pinged for moving a few steps to the left of the kicker while standing on the mark, resulting in a 50-metre penalty.
Former players, fans and members of the media took to Twitter to voice their frustration at the new rule after seeing it in action for the first time.
Seriously, what s the over/under on this rule being scrapped by Round 4 or 5? Dear me. https://t.co/0msX8n83NJ Jake Bourke (@JakeBourke) February 23, 2021
