ah yes, the ol chest mark.
I still remember from my early childhood the Footscray full forward Simon Minton-Connell, who resolutely refused to go for anything other than chest marks. It was so consistent that it was almost like he lacked opposable thumbs
Yes I too recall he had a predilection for chest marks. There have been a few players like that over the years. D Martin is one with a strong preference for the chest mark, yet otherwise a superb ball handler. Franklin is another one. So much easier to spoil an attempted chest mark than a player marking with extended arms.
