Was a risky kick that didnt pay off.
Hard to pay out on either, but occasionally you will make an option without expecting the ball to come your way (we were kicking it to the wing on the Olympic stand side almost exclusively during the game, and so were Sydney.
Marchbank should have come to meet the ball once the kick came to him, but he wouldnt be the first player to think it would make it to him, without knowing his opponent was that close.
Once the guy with the footy elects to take a risky kick, he cant absolve himself of the outcome of any adverse actions.
