Stop blokes from flying for a hanger and using the knee to get up...regularly see blokes cop a knee in the back or side of the head when someone leaps over them for a mark....time we stopped that too then. If the potential to cause injury is the benchmark, then why wasn't Darcy reported last week for jumping into Pittonet with the raised knee?Banning knees in marking contests has been seriously suggested, God forbid! I remember Fatprick Smith arguing that consistency demands that a player who makes contact with an opponent's head in a marking contest should be suspended, whether it be with the knee, elbow or any other manner.
