Not when the ball is coming back, they are not. And they certainly didnt last night.!
And if all teams do it - and I am sure you are right - then,
1) the AFL has a rather large problem with the "spectacle"of the game, and there is a desperate need for some rule changes.
2) It needs one team to do something differently to break it down. Please can that team be us?, and why, why, why cant we plonk someone forward of the ball, when its in our back half!!
Moreover, I dont think ALL teams do it. They do it when they are playing us ..but against othe oppositions not plating RoLyball, I dont see Tom Hawkins or Joe Daniher,or ben Brown or Tex Walker or Jeremy Cameron/ Patton leaving the forward 50 much.
Dangerfield didnt last week against last nights opoosition, and kicked 5
