anyone see the GC-Adelaide game? Ump payed a free to Adelaide for unrealistic attempt against Rankine. . Rankines leap was timed to absolute perfection, it was a thing of beauty, just that a big player in front of him in the queue got a fist on it. He actually went through the motion of marking the ball even though it never arrived. Bit like the old saying, 'the operation was a success, but the patient died'. Seriously the AFL need to have a serious look at this, it should only be paid if it is obvious the player never had a hope. Otherwise to discourage gun players going for marks is a travesty. Why does this have to be so hard?
