This rule has bothered me since it was introduced but its actually starting to ruin the game for me. The rule was introduced to prevent someone sliding legs first which may cause a broken leg, which was an overreaction in the first place as we only had 2 broken legs in 100 years of football but now its preventing the player who puts his head over the ball.
Its actually the worst rule in football and its ruining the game! The AFL is too dumb though to remove it. But they can and need to change the interpretation of it because it is becoming silly. Common sense needs to be used when interpreting it.
