I am not saying I want a full ban on high marking, all I am saying is that if the AFL is as serious as they claim to be in relation to CTE and concussions then it is likely that they are going to have to address the speccy at some point.
There is no other non-combat sport in the world where you...
Rugby Union is a contact sport, however they take any head contact very seriously and you can get a red card for tackles with a high degree of danger which directly impact an opponent's head.
If the AFL is serious about protecting the head, and itself from more potential future CTE lawsuits...
Any particular reason why we can't have a red card for these types of events as they're so infrequent? Would be silly that it could potentially happen in a Grand Final without any immediate punishment.
Other contact sports like NFL, ice hockey, rugby league, rugby union and soccer/football have...

That is a very long time, especially in this day and age where there are so many easily-accessible alternatives at your...
Both of Malceski's goals in the 2012 grand final. I'll never understand the physics of the first goal in particular because most left-footed players would go for the banana from that angle.
They both seemed to hang in the air forever too
I've noticed after speaking to some customers consultants on the phone (telcos, insurance companies), at the end of the call I am asked if i'd like to rate the service from 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest rating.
How would you key in a rating of 10? Wouldn't they take...
