Spill the mark, and a knock-on is Australian Rules is play on.
Spill the mark in union or league and it goes forward, then at best you've given away possession.
yes I suppose I forgot that ruggers is an english game, isnt it... punish risk taking and prop up the defence. It's the same story in soccer. Offside, knock-on, penalties for this and that, which all end up as points if the kicker can kick. Referees determining outcomes....I tell people if they think AFL umpires determine outcomes, have a look at an english game. So we end up with a two teams of big strong men who are too gutless to go for a speccie because they might make a mistake. Personally, I like the Australian game. It better reflects the Aussie way of life.
Lets leave it there. I'm not that desperate to convince rugger fans of the merits of afl.
