Into Synbad's loving arms?

You got me...

well only if Synbad was standing beside Richo... Now this is only guesswork by me. I have no proof Denis mkoved Lance and then the goal resulted on his way to make that move, but Lance is on the wing, kicks, runs to Richo. hmmmm

Derek Humphrey-Smith explained last night on WLF how the decision against Lance was correct. I have to agree. Under no circumstances should a player be advantaged by reading the play and positioning his body accordingly, that would constitute football ability something that can not be measured with a stopwatch at draft camp. In fact I believe that the "Whitnall" rule should be expanded on further. Whenever Lance takes a mark (even if uncontested) through superior judgement or positioning it shall be deemed play on unless Lance can demonstrate some sort of athletic ability to the umpires. Maybe they can carry a tape measure in their socks and demand Lance perform a verticle leap to acceptable AFL standards before any mark is paid.

note: the only true indicator on the validity of the free kick was the look on Richo's face.
