[QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3264841, member: 8423"] The problem isn't the rule change itself. Protecting the heads of players is super important and THAT change is a good thing. This is also the angle the Vlandys and Abdo and all the other idiots keep peddling but this isn't what fans are upset about. Fans are upset at the inconsistencies around officiating and blanket statements that fans want this or that when most people we all talk to and know definitely do not want what it is said they want. The issue is also that these rule changes are done on a whim and while blanketly done, still result in major inconsistencies that are affecting results and the quality of the product. You can penalise high shots more but you don't need to accompany them with knee-jerk sinbins for situations like with Burr that is totally out of his control. You can penalise players and clubs that rort the system with HIAs, etc. There are better ways to go about a needed change that don't result in your flagship event of Magic Round being totally and utterly ruined. You can also fix this problem by removing (or at least changing) the rules that are making it much harder for players who are fatigued and burnt out because the speed is too fast. Players AND OFFICIALS under fatigue is what is leading to more damaging collisions and more uneven adjudicating. Vlandys is trying to say that he is solving a problem HE has made worse in the first place. All of this because the idiots at the top think they know what everyone wants but aren't actually consulting with people to find out. Remove the six again stupidity and keep the head high crack down, that would be a start but also show some common sense when a player hits his own head or is hit due to slipping or something that is out of anyone's control. It is a contact sport, contact will happen but you can't keep changing the rules on the fly to turn it into a sport it is not and in the meantime drive all your fans away. It is just plain lunacy that could all have been avoided with more forethought and more professionalism in doing what ALL professional organisations do and think it through / strategize it first.
