The VAFA has confirmed that VAFA Umpires will follow the AFL’s lead and be implementing the new interpretation for the holding the ball – prior opportunity rule when a player elects to lead with their head into a tackle.
A player who drives or leads with his head into a stationary or near stationary player will be classified as having had prior opportunity.
