The AFL has released its updated Laws of the Game for 2016 with a series of minor changes the main talking points going forward.
As previously covered, umpires will be cracking down on dangerous tackles this season in a bid to stamp out any lifting, slinging or rotating technique.
The AFL will also look more closely at players swapping when guarding the mark, with the protected area around the mark widened as well.
Umpires will take a more strict approach to the deliberate out-of-bounds rule whilst the players themselves will have stronger grounds with which to appeal tribunal and MRP penalties.
Speaking in December 2015, AFL football operations manager Mark Evans said the AFL Commission had determined that these changes would spread the game out, protect player safety, and improve umpiring.
"The view of the AFL and the Commission is that a series of tighter interpretations in the areas of dangerous tackles, boundary line play and the protected area for the player with the ball will deliver an effective result for how the game is player and how it looks next season, compared to undertaking more serious changes to the game," Evans said.
