[ALL PLAYERS WERE UNINJURED](https://youtu.be/bJGeSRJ5MMQ). Steven Milne (who took it in the face) can be seen running right after
[here](https://youtu.be/XMZYZcoAcU0) is a quick breakdown of the rules for those interested. I think a good way of understanding the sport is to look at a non-highlight play like [this](https://youtu.be/4qkFd0AeSWo)
While a lot of the best marks are considered for mark of the year are [high flying spekkies ](https://youtu.be/7AjcFfBvIcs), some are special because of the [courage needed to fly into a pack from the other direction](https://youtu.be/K3JMNjSDR04)
Absolutely ridiculous.
Crazy how the commentators didn’t mention any of the players being possibly injured
Does Australia have an award for Karen of the year?
Props to 20 on the opponent for trying to break his fall.
That mark came second in MOTY? Geez, what came first?
Must have been the biggest scandal until Jeremy Howe was robbed a few years back.
the kit clash here is pretty bad, if you’re looking at the right side of both teams it’s a bit too similar.
Hit his own teammate with a V-Trigger.
Woah that was some collision. Props to that dude trying to break the other dude’s fall
This is such a ballsy grab. He would have known Milne etc would be running out to try to mark it, straight at him. He’s looking up behind him, so running forward blind.
They’re all super lucky that this didn’t result in injuries.
Looks like him landing into his buddy saved him from landing on his neck. He was rotating backwards till he hit into his buddy
We barely get a televised AFL game here but when it’s on I watch it. It’s a great sport
I’ve family in Aus and they say it’s orders of magnitude better to watch at the stadium as there’s so much off the ball stuff happening that TV doesn’t catch
I don’t even follow sports, but I am always blown away at skill and the sheer rugged toughness of some of these dudes. It seems like this legitimately happened the best way it could, the dude’s leg bent in such a way to cushion the other guy’s head and *roll* it do the ground. It also didn’t bend in such a way to snap anything. Beautiful marks from this completely sports-ignorant American (me)
Milne got the worst of it
