Can a GS or GA receive a pass off goal post?

I had someone ask me if you are allowed to do this in a game. I thought if it was accidental it was ok but if it's on purpose and something they do regularly that shouldn't be allowed. What are the rules on this? Thank you.

Throw in round back of post to player on other side

When throwing in from the baseline inside the circle can you pass the ball behind the post to a player on the other side of the post. Can't see anything in the rules saying you have to throw in front of the post on the side you are standing on (where ball went out),.

Contact ruling and short passes.

Now please correct me if Im wrong, but I played a game of netball today, and there was so much contact and obstruction that was not being picked up. Both teams were complaining about it, and when we asked the umpire why none of it was being picked up, she replied, that its only contact if you have complete possession of the ball. So basically if you do not have the ball you can push your player out the way and that isn't contact (by this state umpire....apparently) we were absolutely floored and were having a huge laugh at this. Is this what netball is coming to? I have never heard this before and would love for some opinions if i have completely got contact and obstruction wrong. Secondly, I have recently taught my U11s shooters to pass around the goal post for a back line throw in. My question is, what constitutes a short pass in this instance, as they apparently (I was on the opposite side of the court) didn't have much between their hands when they passed, but didn't get called and the umpire was right there. GF is this weekend and would hate for them to do it and get called, so just wanted to get some clarification from some of the umpiring gurus on here.

GS/GA playing the ball off the post

Does there have to be enough room for a defending player to move in between the distance that the ball travels when a GS/GA plays the ball off the post from either the back line or from within the shooting circle (short pass)?

Throw in and Have It Rebounded Off The Goalpost

When a player throws the ball in from outside the court (from the backline, either the GS or the GA is throwing the ball in), can they throw the ball and have it rebound off the goalpost, while catching it mid-air???

Strong Holding Shooter etc

Hi allWhats the best way to defend a great holding shooter?And I also have a player who every time receives the ball she'll just pass straight away, I always keep encouraging her to hold it for just a little bit as most of the times and look for options 1,2, or 3, the pass just isn't in the right space, or she'll pass to a heavily defended player, etc I have been doing a lot of drills involving timing, space, driving and passing she tends to get it in training just not in match play. She just seems frantic. Any tips. As I just want to get this across to her.

When the ball is being thrown in from the goal line, can the GK (standing next to a goal post but out of court) pass around behind to goal post (still out of court) to the other side of the Goal circle? I've searched Australian rules but can't find any information. Much appreciated.

Can a GK shake the goal post |...

My team recently played against a team where the GK would shake the goal post everytime our shooters would take a shot. She was not picked up for this at all, i believe it was an infringment, maybe intimidation or some type of contact. Can someone advise, is this a viable play, or is it an infringment. It was very obvious, she would only shake the goal post once the shooters had released the ball for a shot, not before so she wasnt leaning on it for support and she kept doing it and was never picked up

What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
