    I thought he dropped the mark and was then pulled by the shoulder, off the contest. Clear free.

    Other than Ablett, all tagged star players get beaten now and then. Hanners was beaten yesterday.

    He's beaten tags in the past. It's still early in his career, and IMO, he'll get better dealing with it with more experience.
    Hear hear! He may not have had large number's, but he was working hard and contributing with his 1%'ers. A lot of tagged players just give up.

    You could be right Nico; I was so annoyed at the unnoticed pull I forgot everything else!
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

    No, there was another exactly as shaun described; good lead, onto his chest, dropped it.

    Must have been that play. Didn't realise the pulling or holding going on, was in awe of the kick and then the shock of a dropped mark. I guess it makes sense that he was being held as PTA got away with a few of them.

    EDIT:
    Or maybe not ^

    I missed that one and probably fixated on the other one. I admit to going on about it for some time!
