This article on the AFL website talks about players who forced rule changes.
Yet our man James Clement wasn't mentioned as the cause for the hands in the back rule/interpretation. Ridiculous.
It was his greatest weapon and he retired not longer after it was brought in.
Particularly now that it's been removed, you'd think they'd acknowledge the player who was responsible for it being brought in. Watching Jimmy demoralise James Hird simply by holding him down was a thing of beauty prior to 2007.
