We, the undersigned, hereby request to review of the \"Hands on the back rule\", which was implemented into the AFL in the 2007 Home and Away Season. The \"Hands on the back rule\" is moving the AFL in the wrong direction. Many supporters, players, officals and coaches have complained or have had second thoughts about the rule and it is changing our game for the worse. We would like the AFL to review the \"Hands on the back rule\" ASAP and make amendments to the rule, if not now, defintely at season end 2007. Sincerely, The Undersigned

The momentum behind this petition is proving that the AFL cannot keep ignoring our frustration. The league is actively ruining the game with this garbage rule and now they have no choice but to face our collective anger.

Finally someone doing something about this. My kids dont even want to watch anymore because every play gets stopped for a free kick.
