But you’re still allowed to to take a running jump and stick your boot, sometimes both, (studs up) into an opponent’s back in a marking contest.

Exactly right Spargo, all these people saying that studs up should be banned will be the first to whinge when an over zealous umpire like Razor ray takes mark of the year off someone for studs up taking a hanger.

Well you can blame a grub like Greene if that happens, because they will outlaw it. Bit different launching into a mark with pure athleticism than sticking you boot out to stop someone

For mine a fine on this one and make it known that "sprigs up" is not acceptable, but, that does complicate when taking a speccy McGee from behind a pack.....
PS - Stop calling them studs, please.

See zero reason why that needs to change.

Accidental sprigging yes. Deliberate no.

So what, every time a ruckman has used an opponent as a springboard, or any player has put a boot in the back attempting a high mark it’s accidental?

That probably goes to show that none of us give a shit about the remaining teams. Quite sad really. I hate it when my team doesn't make it past the first week of finals. It's just not the same.
