Cats TV asked Josh Hunt and AFL journalist, Adam McNicol, how far is too far when it comes to tagging in the backline on Argue the Toss?

Hunt believes there are worse incidents that occur between players on the field and he felt last weekend’s pinching allegation against Fremantle's, Ryan Crowley, didn't warrant a fine.

However, he could understand such behavior would be hard to tolerate and become very trying.

“Obviously with all the rules in the AFL you can’t vilify anyone and the guys get protected pretty well now,” Hunt said.  

“I’m in the very fortunate position, one I’ll never be a tagger and two I’ll never be tagged, so I’m probably not in the position to say.

“If someone was pinching and stuff I think it would be pretty annoying, but to get fined and have a big thing about it I’m not too sure it’s worth that.”

As a spectator, McNicol feels that the umpires are there to oversee and to take control of the players’ actions on the field, and if that line is over-stepped it is up to the umpires to intervene.

“You’ve got three umpires out there, and if the umpires are doing their job then there is not really that much that a tagger can get away with outside the rules,” McNicols explained.  

“There are things that you can’t get away with but you (players) take it right up to the line and the umpire needs to step in if they go too far.”
