Talk:Flooding (Australian football)

That's nice, but what is it actually?

References and possible original research
I've just added templates to this article for both these issues.

The lack of references doesn't need explaining.

The sorts of things that could be original research include:
 * '...commonly deployed to protect a lead, to stop a rout or as a counterattack tactic...'
 * '...often bemoaned by spectators and generally regarded as "ugly" football.'
 * '...this resulted in a pack of players moving with the ball up and down the field trying to get a clearing kick into space that the pack would then run into and repeat the process.'
 * 'Such a process is still evident in some junior leagues (the under 8 years old children) and is known as "beehive football".'
 * 'As football at the elite level increased in professionalism and athleticism, the practice increased.'
 * 'Flooding first became an offensive tactic...in 1996.'

Without reliable sources, these sorts of statements don't belong in Wikipedia.

Rename
The primary meaning of flooding is that which is caused by a flood. Presumably the Australian Football meaning is derived from this primary meaning. This article should therefore be renamed to Flooding (Australian football). Anybody disagree?
 * No? OK, it's done! Tgirl 17:33, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
