Three consecutive hand-passes allowed, then you have to kick it.
Get rid of the fisted point.
Don't see how anyone could argue against either suggestion.
Unless they've developed a playing system which takes advantage of unlimited hand-passing and therefore stand to lose out if they are restricted.
Those suggestions will certainly mean there will be more kicking in the game, but will the game be any better?
You will have more long hoofs just to get rid of it, just because the hand pass isn't allowed.
You will have more 5 yard kickpasses, because that is the best pass to make, but the handpass isnt allowed.
It will become more difficult to run the ball at pace (which is a s good to watch as a team kicking it long)
Even more teams will drop players back deep because they know after 3 handpasses a kickpass will have to come.

As a wise old underage coach once said to me, "Just kick it as far as you can and let them fight over it".
If you were any use you'd be playing.

The Tyrone lads always come out of the woodwork when anyone badmouths their beloved hand-pass.  ;D

Nobody is stopping you kicking the ball if you want!

We can't get hold of the shaggin thing because of you midgets running around in circles playing pass the parcel!

But when you do get it, hoof it as far as you can. Everyone's happy then!

The Nordies really are obsessed with the toss passing.
So  let's have  2 competitions in future
A manly Gaelic football championship with kicking the football
And an Ulster tossball thing where anyone who kicks the ball gets a black card.

When I was a young buck in Primary school the boys were always kicking a ball around.
Meanwhile the girleens  used to be throwing a ball about.

Should the Rossies not be putting all their effort into the Sam homecoming party in September? The rules are fine as they are

They aren't counting their chickens in Roscommon yet, they know that they'll need a song before organising the homecoming! https://youtu.be/kSfKmvOYRA0
