Yes totally agree with what you just said about the marking alot of courage is definatly needed going back with the flight of the ball and i think the AFL has tried to minimise injury by cracking down on the in the back rule and also the choping at the arms which is a good thing I guess to prevent injury. Some of the high tackles AFL give are just rubbish across the chest tackles though I wish they would be abit more lenient.
In regards to league changing that rule you have based that comment on 1 statement made by a ref during a bulldogs game were the defending player was tackled mid air and that isnt allowed in AFL either.
