Great to be back with another episode of Sporting Spotlight with Bazz and Phil.

This week we’re joined by Shane Harris for a ripping chat about some of footy’s biggest rule debates… the stand rule, 6-6-6, last touch, umpiring pressure, and what actually works in the modern game.

Shane gives a great insight into how these rules are viewed from the officiating side, and there is plenty in this one for any footy fan who loves a good AFL debate.

Thanks for sticking with us while we’ve been a little quiet. We’re still as passionate as ever and really keen to get things rolling again.

Watch now and let us know… which AFL rule would you change first?

Bazz and Phil make a fair point here.

Has sports media become too negative? One round in and teams are already being written off, coaches are under pressure, and everything feels doom and gloom.
