fwiw; I doubt the AFL will be stupid enough to ban lifting the knee in marking contests, for the reasons [member=906]Lods[/member] has pointed out you'd basically put an end to the bulk of speccies.
btw; For me the more dangerous act is the Hogan style kick out, if that gets a player low enough in the back it is basically setting somebody up to be tunnelled falling flat on their back from a height. The knee in the marking contest usually forces the opponent to tip forwards.
