advantage rule

The advantage rule for a penalty is also exploited by teams to score a drop goal.

This is known as the Advantage Rule.

The advantage rule which benefited Liam Dowling two years before didn't seem to apply to Seamus Bannon.

The advantage rule was altered to put the onus on the player rather than the umpire to decide whether they can take the advantage from a free kick.

The advantage rule allows play to continue immediately after a foul so long as the team in which a free-kick would have been awarded gains a fair advantage.

Refereeing has been improved and includes a full implementation of the advantage rule, with the referee pulling back play for bookings after the ball goes out of play.

When a foul is called, play is stopped even if you had passed the ball to someone in front of you about to dunk the ball (no advantage rule like in soccer!)

The 2010 NAB Cup pre-season competition trialled three new rules: allowing boundary umpires to award free kicks, letting the players, not the umpire, decide if they want to utilise the advantage rule and penalising players who push the ball under another player.
