The farce surrounding the free kick awarded against Michael Firrito has left the AFL admitting that more communication is needed about the rushed behind rule.The fallout from the controversial free paid against the North Melbourne defender has prompted the league to contact senior coaches this week.Football operations manager Mark Evans has already said the AFL will review the rushed behind rule at the end of the season.The issue was also discussed on Thursday at a meeting of the leagues rules committee, while senior coaches have queued up to express their confusion about the rule.There has been no attempt to change the interpretation of the rule mid-year, but we accept that most of the reference to these free kicks have historically been about the player being under pressure or not, and greater communication on the other factors is needed, Evans said in a statement on Friday.... The law needs reviewing and we will do that at seasons end.In the opening minute of last Saturday nights match against Port Adelaide, Firrito was being tackled by Charlie Dixon when he handballed through a rushed behind from the top of the goalsquare.Field umpire Justin Schmitt paid a free kick against Firrito and Ports Jay Schulz kicked the first goal of the match.On Monday, AFL umpires coach Hayden Kennedy insisted Schmitt made the right call.Since the introduction of the rule in 2009 the most commonly discussed factor for a free to be paid or not paid is whether the player is under pressure, Evans said.The vision sent around in May also highlighted the defenders distance away from the goal line, and the time and space the player had to otherwise dispose of the ball as reasons for the umpires to determine whether a free for deliberate rushed behind should be paid.On Thursday, Melbourne coach Paul Roos expressed his frustration about the rushed behind rule.He said the AFL, not the umpires, were to blame for this latest controversy because rules were being tweaked too often.Roos added he was still confused about the rushed behind rule, probably like 99.99 per cent (of people).Mets Jerseys 2019 .

The Cincinnati Reds remain perfect with their speedy rookie outfielder in the starting lineup.Chris Froome extended his overall lead in the Tour de France with an opportunistic attack before organisers confirmed Thursdays stage to the famed Mont Ventoux has been shortened on safety grounds.Howling crosswinds allowed Froome to take time out of his rivals on stage 11 from Carcassonne to Montpellier as he latched on to Peter Sagans stage-winning move 12km from the finish, coming home second to the world champion but crucially six seconds ahead of the chasing pack.However, those same winds have forced organisers to move the finish of Thursdays stage 12 from the summit of Mont Ventoux to Chalet Reynard midway up the climb, shortening the day by six kilometres.Gusts were measured at more than 100kph on top of the mountain on Wednesday, with similar forecast for Thursday. Mont Ventoux is famed for its exposed summit, but the new finish will see the race end in the relative shelter of the forest.?Organisers said the decision to shorten the stage was taken now as the entire stage would need to be cancelled if nothing was done before Thursday morning and the conditions proved unsafe. Froome won on Mont Ventoux on his way to overall victory in 2013, but thanked the organisers for putting riders safety first.Of course I was looking forward to doing Ventoux, its the most iconic climb, the most legendary climb in this years race, he said after extending his overall lead to 28 seconds.At the end of the day, apparently there are really just gale force winds and it just wouldnt be safe for the riders so thank you to the organisers for making the decision. Its the right thing to do.A bunch sprint had been expected in Montpellier but instead there was the unusual sight of the points leaders green jersey and the race leaders yellow crossing the line first and second.Crosswinds had caused splits in the peloton throughout the day, and although the riders were back together on the final approach to Montpellier, Sagan had one more trick up his sleeve.The Tinkoff rider was clocked at 71kph as he burst clear of the pack with team-mate Maciej Bodnar, and Froome was first to respond before being joined by Geraint Thomas.dddddddddddd Together the quartet pulled more than 20 seconds ahead and that was enough to keep them clear to the finish.?It is [special], Sagan said after the sixth Tour stage win of his career and second this year. It was something crazy that happened. I didnt believe we could go and after Froomey and Geraint Thomas came with us, I said Were too strong, theyre never going to catch us. They just pulled very hard and it happened. Its unbelievable.Today everybody was like its crazy wind, its crazy wind. Crazy wind was the last 15km or 12km -- I dont know how much.With bonus seconds applied, Froome now leads the general classification by 28 seconds from 23-year-old Briton Adam Yates of Orica-BikeExchange, with Irishman Dan Martin of Etixx-QuickStep third, 31 seconds down.Movistars Nairo Quintana, seen as Froomes main rival for victory, is fourth, 35 seconds down. Sagans win strengthens his hold on the points leaders green jersey after he took it from Mark Cavendish on Tuesday and, given the mountains to come, the Slovakian looks certain to win the category for a fifth straight year barring accident or illness.Cavendish had been hoping for a shot at a fourth win of this Tour, but as Sagan and Froome were attacking ahead, the Manxman suffered a mechanical problem and was left to cross the line alone.Cavendish is now left with a decision to make over whether or not to stay in the race for the final days sprint in Paris or withdraw early and focus on preparing to compete on the track in the Olympics.Froome took yellow with a surprise downhill attack on stage eight into Bagneres-de-Luchon, and Wednesdays attack shows he is in feisty mood.Obviously I took a few seconds on the downhill and then again on the finish here, he said. Any opportunity I can see Im going to take it. ' ' '
