Well, Gerro, the compensation for the fella going for the ball, is that any "in the back" " high contact" or "legged" etc will be paid their way. The one thing that pisses me off with the rules now, is that the player with the footy does not , in this day and age, have to dispose of the ball by handpass or kick. As PK has said, it will open the game up, improve player skills, and it will only take a couple of weeks of enforcement for most coaches to work on tackling and disposal skills to prevent giving away free kicks. IF the umpires and the AFL have got the guts to call out the coaches on this in the first place.
