Shepparding the man on the mark

Re: Shepparding the man on the mark

That's just bollocks.

A long, long time ago, I was jogging through the centre square. The ball was on the wing and it looked like we might win possesion. Next thing I knew the trainers were helping me up.

40 metres off the ball and looking the other way. Yeah, sometimes you're not expecting contact.

I agree with that example, but when you are in and around the ball you need to have some awareness of who is around you, but many players these day don't.

(I can hardly talk - After the Sydney game I was playing kick to kick on Manuka and got shirt fronted by my brother-in-law. I was leading out for a kick and just as I relaxed to take the mark I got hammered from my blind side and ended up with a nice cut on the inside of the mouth and a sore jaw. Dirty prick!!)

Looks like they are taking a stand on this one, another suspension for a heavy bump on the man on the mark this week

He got cleared at the tribunal

I thought that was reasonable.

The guy had played on but hadn't kicked it at that stage. I thought a shephard was appropriate under the circumstances.

He has to live with my sister, that in itself is enough punishment.

Harsh! Fair enough.
