When they mark the ball they hold their spot and look side ways to dispose of the ball instead of automatically running back 10 steps giving up time and ground. This is even more effective in 2024 with the guy on the mark not allowed to move.Mitchell could do this because he could hit targets left or right with hand or foot, our blokes can't even hit targets on their preferred.
Modern AFL players can't even handball properly anymore, it's bizarre that the half throws of modern AFL players can't hit targets 5m away!
Or is it that the handball is so so bad because they are trying to punch a moving target?
