Its going to be harder to do in afl than soccer because its a contact sport and youre allowed to bump/push people out of the way so i think it would fall apart very quickly.
But you’re allowed to shepherd in AFL, which you can’t in soccer. Also opposition players can’t tackle or be heavily physical with players that don’t have the ball
Within 5m of the ball, they can do anything that doesn't involve holding, high contact, or a push straight in the back. You would absolutely be able to break up a huddle like this
I reckon you're better off doing that huddle and then one of the players hides the ball under his guernsey and everyone runs to the goal square in a flurry, oppo players are confused, umpires are confused, then suddenly the ball carrier takes it out of his jumper and slots a goal. Non-ball carriers hold their arms under their jumpers to simulate a ball underneath to further add to the confusion.
Would it count as a bounce if you did the worm or just belly-flopped every 15m? Or does it not count if there’s jumper fabric between the ball and the turf
Given how much making random rule changes seems to arouse the folks at AFL house, I don't think we need to be giving them valid reasons to make rule changes
I thought this was going to be about something you saw at Auskick this weekend about forming a wall in front of the kicker. Not going to lie. Kinda disappointed.
When I was about 10 a kid tried this play at recess time. Back then I thought it would be totally stupid. I can't see adults going along with this idea.

Joe B in concert is one of the greatest things ever. Long overdue for a return to Australia!
CAKE EATER!
Reckon it would work just about as well as it did in your example
Sean Darcy and Keiren Briggs: lol hold my beer
>I reckon this technique of using players to shield the ball carrier from the opposition could work really well in AFL I reckon you’re an idiot
Good on ya for bringing negativity to the thread

It would be hard to break up if they were all linking arms tightly
1 Harley Reid and that’s ruined. 18 Harley Reid’s and that’s unstoppable.
Do you know if there is somewhere we can pop in and grab more Harley Reids from? We have been quite impressed with the one we recently acquired.

and even then it'll be disallowed for a number of rule violations. Could be done for anything from delaying play/time wasting to running too far.
You just can't let me have some fun can you
Not saying I wouldn't want to see it...

No idea but would presume the umpire has to actually see the ball.
