2009 rule change

We need an expert here to explain the 2009 rule change. What's the difference between a 3-point rushed behind and a 1-point rushed behind? They're both deliberate. - Richard Cavell (talk) 05:46, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The 3 point rushed behind was only used in the pre-season games as a trial, in-place of the standard 1-point rushed behind. The 2009 rule change was to introduce a free-kick to be awarded for a deliberate rushed behind. 1 point still applies for "non-deliberate" or "under pressure" rushed behinds - <WP:POV>with both those exemptions being controversially, inconsistently & subjectively defined by the umpires.</POV>The-Pope (talk) 06:10, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I guess the phrase "under pressure" makes the difference, but any rushed behind that is not pure accident is going to be made under pressure. I'm not an expert on the laws of the game, and I don't want to write something that's imprecise. I wish someone would have a go at this article. - Richard Cavell (talk) 09:03, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rushed behind credited to player

http://www.afl.com.au/video/smart-replay?round=CD_R201501416&matchId=CD_M20150141602&eventType=Behind&seek=762&videoQuality=high Macrae was credited with a behind despite his kick being smothered then going through the goals. Which makes "a rushed behind occurs when the ball passes through the goalposts and was last touched by a defending player" and "Rushed behinds are statistically credited to no player" incompatible.
