Apparently Wallace fines Richo now if he passes the ball inside F50. It has certainly straigtened him up.

Time for some rules for Carlton players.

1. Ryan Houlihan - no passes less than 40 m from the backline and certainly no round the corner passes
2. Nick Stevens, Campo, Lappin - Leave the defenders alone. We don't need you camped in D50 to rescue the defenders. They are not the ones that need help. Get out to the midfield and F50 and earn your kicks there. The defence doesnt need you. Stevens in particular should be the final link to the forwards. In fact Houla too, he is the only one that can hit a forward regularly. He misses coming out of the backline only.
3. Anyone that kicks the ball over the head of a leading forward has to wash their car during the week. That includes you Kouta.
4. Anyone that backs off laying a tackle or disposes of the ball hurriedly to avoid contact causing a turnover will get 30min of "sin-bin". Call that one the M Lappin rule.
5. Leave A Walker as a run with player. He looks much more relaxed and decisive in that role.
6. No automatic selctions except Kouta. Anyone else can be dropped for form or more importantly WORKRATE regardless of salary

The 'Richo rule' should be applied to Whits and Fev, especially Whits - I appreciate you're trying to be creative, but that's not what we need right now. TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY AND HAVE A FREAKIN' SHOT!

If Campo disputes one umpiring decision, he should be made to wear a "Brodie Holland is tops" t-shirt.

If Thornton bitches at a player, then that player must take the blame and be in the best players for the next 3 weeks.

I love it Deano.

The Richo Rule it is.

Kouta Rule: must find his direct opponent instead of pointing his finger to a fellow team mate on turnovers.

Kick the simple goals. Forget about freakish goals.

Why stop there-
Rugby could have the John Hopoate rule
Boxing the Mike tyson rule.......

Thou shalt not play Murray Vance.

Whats this stuff about Thornton bitching? Don't recall him ever bitching at teammate's upfield, umpires, opposition players...anyone but himself he has a great full-back's attitude

I like the one about sin-bin for not laying tackles nad avoiding contact.

Here's a good one, how about we have a KPP be able to take a contested mark whenever Chris Bryan kicks the ball 75 metres from a kick out.

How about:

If the opposition kicks a goal, we must kick the next 2.

SUPERCOACH!

How about we develop the Bryan rule to include a clause (Clem can draft this)

That the 75 m kick in is to an "attacking pre-ordained position on the field into which a Carlton player knows to run before said kicker kicks."
