The opposition run on

[ElwoodBlues1]

I mentioned this in the other thread.

I think it was a tactic.

If you rewatch, you'll see Eddie Betts is running flat stick at the goal kicker as play on is called. He just got the kick away.

I think without a man on the mark a player will walk/run into goal past where the mark was (thus being called play on) and it may catch him by surprise and make him miss when the likes of Eddie is closing fast.

It didn't work, but it almost worked.

Ok sorry I missed your post and explanation, that would only work in a play on situation though wouldnt it?, if the player is walking in to kick on the same line and doesnt cross the mark then its just a unhindered kick at goal. I might watch it again on Kayo and take more notice of Eddie's movements.
