Much of the rules made by the AFL are asymmetrical because it's driven by the media commentary, if a lowly defender did that to a power forward blokes like BT and Darcy would go berserk about it, the forward has to have a chance, you can't do that, it's illegal, but when it's a forward launching to they laud it as a great mark, terrific use of the body, he allowed to hold his ground, etc., etc..
You've heard it a thousand times before.
The question becomes, is that what the public want to see? If the AFL think the commentary is aligned to the public expectation, they'll make sure it happens.
Most fans though find the variability frustrating, we just want the rules the same for everybody, we don't want to see the superstar discounts.
