Spirit of the laws The spirit of the laws provides umpires with an approach to decision-making that determines the manner in which the game should be played. In an effort to achieve consistency in decision making, there is an emphasis placed on the spirit of the laws (i.e. the philosophies underlying the laws) and officiating according to the spirit of the laws. Fairness and safety It is the spirit and intention of the laws to ensure that a match is played in a fair manner and to protect players from sustaining injury. All breaches of the laws shall be penalised. For coaching purposes, seven main areas (spirit of the laws) have been identified. 1. Contest for the ball – general play “The player whose sole objective is to contest the ball shall be permitted to do so.” • A player may be fairly met by use of the hip, shoulder, chest, arms, open hand or be pushed or bumped in the chest or side or may be shepherded. • Solid but legal bumps are permitted. 150 AFL Youth Coaching Manual
2. Diving on the ball “The ball shall be kept in motion.” • Where a player elects to dive on the ball, or when on the ground elects to drag the ball underneath his or her body and is correctly tackled, the player is to be penalised for holding the ball if he or she fails to immediately knock the ball clear or correctly dispose of it. 3. Marking contests “The player whose sole objective is to contest a mark shall be permitted to do so.” • Where there is incidental contact in a marking contest when the ball is the sole objective (eyes on the ball) – play-on will result. • When a player leaps early, the attempt must be realistic (i.e. able to touch the ball). 4. Tackling A player in possession of the ball and tackled illegally will be awarded a free kick. No prior opportunity – reasonable time “The player who has possession of the ball and is tackled correctly by an opponent shall be given a reasonable time to kick or handball the ball or attempt to kick or handball the ball.” • If the tackle pins the ball, a field bounce will result. • If a correct tackle or bump causes the player with the ball to lose possession, play-on will result. Prior opportunity – immediate disposal “The player who has possession of the ball and has had an opportunity to dispose of it and is then tackled correctly by an opponent must immediately kick or handball the ball.” • If a correct tackle pins the ball or causes the player with the ball to lose possession, a free kick will result. • If a bump or knock to the arm causes the player with the ball to lose possession, play-on will result. 5. Ruck contests “The player whose sole objective is to contest the ruck shall be permitted to do so.” • Where there is incidental contact in a ruck contest when the ball is the sole objective (eyes on the ball), play-on will result. 6. Advantage plays “The ball shall be kept in motion by permitting the team offended against to take advantage, provided play is continuous.” • Advantage can only apply to a free kick. It cannot apply to a mark. • A guide as to whether play is continuous is that the outcome of the play would have been the same had the whistle not been blown. To implement this well, umpires need to be alert for possible advantage plays in the following circumstances: • When the ball is loose. • When the team offended against has possession of the ball. 7. 50-metre penalty “After a mark or free kick has been awarded, a 50-metre penalty will be awarded against the opposing team which unduly delays the play or abuses an umpire.” AFL Youth Coaching Manual 151
