Everyone's done it. Everyone.

It just looks way sillier if nobody's actually there to justify the action which was the case with Rachele.

In the whole debate there's something that's being missed about how players engage another player running back with the footy, and that is, the lowest percentage play is the play that's likely to give away a free kick - without even thinking about a suspension due to a hit that causes harm.

Every player from Cripps, to Greene, to Wright, to Cameron etc. etc. etc. were always going to give away a free kick with the way they attacked the man....uh...sorry, the footy (or at least should have been penalised). If you don't want to hurt people in those situations, not giving away a free kick is the right place to start, and we can deal with the exceptions from there.
