Message: [QUOTE="john1420, post: 2418594, member: 2077"] Yowee had his eyes up and was making an attempt to catch the footy. No way is that a penalty. If he catches it, play on - no penalty. If he fumbles it, knock on - no penalty. As a former AFL fan, this is one of the things that pi$$ed me off with AFL. A player would go for a spectacular mark by climbing up the back of another player, and if he takes it it's a screamer. If he drops it, he is penalised for a push in the back of an opposing player. I hated this because it's so blatantly and moronically stupid. An action is either legal or illegal. It's not legal if the outcome is 1 way, and illegal if the outcome is another. That's like saying robbing a bank is legal if you don't get away with the money, and illegal if you do. An action is either legal or illegal. Contesting a high ball and interfering with another player whilst doing so is legal, whether you catch it or not. It's only illegal if you're not contesting the ball and just trying to take out the player. No way is Yowee doing that [/QUOTE]
