What's 'sharking' in AFL?

Question

Thanks!

Answer 1

I'll give you an answer,  Sharking is when you 'shark' the ruck,  example of this is when a ruckman is continually winning the knock outs, but he is on the opposition,  (being a ruck/rover for my footy career i had to do this many times), you start roving to the opposition ruckman, meaning, you are trying to guess where he is goin to knock/tap the ball and get it b4 his team mate does.

hopefully that has helped and providedyou with the answer, that is what sharking is.

cheers.

Answer 2

Yep, that old bloke Rumper Stumper is right with his answer.

That's what sharking is. Some teams play it very well - whereas Collingwood has perfected the art of, what we call, "blowfishing".

When ever one orf our ruckmen win a knock our midfielders 'blow' it & turn it over to the oposition!
