I can remember one of our players doing it early in the year, Flossy! And um, he got picked off for it about 35m out from the opposition goal.Not sure if it's our coaching but every club except us does the shovel / scoop from congestion and get away with it.
I think it's like ther 15m kick rule. For them it's a mark for anything over 5m, for us it';s play on for anything under 25m.
