A shot clock in Gaelic Football would favour teams playing with a blanket defence. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13777 - 24/08/2018 11:14:52 2136203 Link 1 |
Yes but the possession game that Dublin has developed was a response to The Blanket. Introducing a stop clock might encourage teams to shoot but it could have the effect of re-enforcing the perceived merits of Blanket defending. Keep the attacking team at bay, let the clock run down - attacking team forces to shoot under pressure and possession reverts to defending team. I'm not so sure KD's suggestion will make our game more exciting. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1989 - 24/08/2018 11:16:09 2136204 Link 3 |

Ya I think this would favour teams flooding players back. I think a rule about keeping players in a certain section of the pitch and not going back the pitch over a certain line would be more adapt at solving issues we are seeing. Not sure would this work either though Kingofthehill100 (Mayo) - Posts: 68 - 24/08/2018 11:31:33 2136215 Link 0 |
Would this not encourage i) systematic fouling to slow down play and ii) a massed defence? How would it be implemented at any level except the top level (i.e. who would keep the time in a club game and how would the timekeeper advise the ref / players that time was up or nearly up)? Would it result in an old fashioned hoof into the full forward line which would likely become more packed as the clock runs down? What would the shot timeframe be and would this be enough time at all levels? Would it encourage teams to run down the clock til the last moment, thus encouraging the practise its supposed to try and eradicate? Would canny managers be able devise ways to get around this (e.g. pass the ball to an opposition player as the clock runs down who would instantly be swarmed and most likely concede a free or cough possession back up, thus resetting the clock)?

Sort of aggressive message that forums get a bad name for.

Some posters would like to go back to the past - a past where supporters, like today, were all crying out for change to 'save the game'. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 24/08/2018 14:54:13 2136320 Link 0 |
This is an example of a change that while on the face of it looks good but would just be used against an attacking team. Barrowsider (Carlow) - Posts: 1639 - 24/08/2018 15:15:21 2136327 Link 0 |

When I think of it 13 aside is probably the simplest idea I have heard it should be trialed at least and give teams two extra subs. I seem to remember some teams even manage well with 12 like 83 :D gormdubhgorm (Dublin) - Posts: 990 - 25/08/2018 09:56:17 2136466 Link 0 |
I like that first one simple to see and enforce for refs no counting required. For the second one I think the mark as is works grand. gormdubhgorm (Dublin) - Posts: 990 - 25/08/2018 09:58:44 2136467 Link 0 |
Would a very good team like Dublin would just work the ball quicker? And move the ball into the 'D' as quickly as possible? If they lost the ball at team would have to get ready to chase back? I think McGuinness has brainwashed you with negativity!? :D gormdubhgorm (Dublin) - Posts: 990 - 25/08/2018 10:00:16 2136468 Link 0 |
Possession is too valuable. If you have to kick pass it and there is no pass on then players will turn around and boot the ball backwards to a free man.

No, as this would play into a defensive teams hand. witnof (Dublin) - Posts: 1604 - 25/08/2018 15:22:40 2136510 Link 0 |
