No matter how well a team perform in a league game, the talk afterwards is always with a view to how they will fare come championship. I have to say, and it feels like I’m in the minority on this, but I’m a fan of the advanced mark. Because of the advanced mark, defenders now have to stay tighter to forwards as they run out from goal looking to receive a pass. Now they are more enticed to compete full-blooded for the ball to deny a mark. Either way, I believe the advanced mark leads to more goal opportunities.
