What do you all think to this pro team bird dogging!!!!

I can understand why people do it, but they should play Xball, then it is fair.
Otherwise once ten seconds is shouted it is down to the two teams on the pitch, and the marshalls. I for one understand Marshalls don't always get it right, but hey nor do Premier league football refs..
A lot of this comes down to the honesty and integrity of the players and the problem is in todays society we are struggling to deal with the ASBO culture so cheating will appear in games.
I Blame the parents

If they really wanted to be sneaky you would have thought they would have got someone to do it who wasn't a fully dressed Ironmen player...
Would be nice to see videos of all the games to see which other teams may or may not use this tactic.

there also seams to be a great deal of counter coaching going on, and more dirty tactics. but i think its made crowds bigger at events, and there enjoyment as such is better.
it will happen anywhere, we got counter coached in the m5's on sunday by some poeple watching it will always happen, they told our snake guy someone was there unfort the muppet listened and the snake was emoty. Wrongly he promptly sat on his knuckle for the rest of the game instead of going and taking the (non) snake player out.
Ive seen it at events for years that i have been reffing at, the way bill is doing it and also by mouth the refs on field do try and watch but hey we do want to watch the players as well.
This in my book sucks no need for it, but it will continue to happen.

Ok i get the point, and its morally wrong they should all sit down and think about what they've done etc etc
But surely people aren't surprised this is happening? It's not some new phase it's been around ages, why? Because it's an advantage that can't be stopped with the rules they have.
Refs follow snake players all the time as they move down, or run up to them to check them. Isn't this the same advantage? Yes more acceptable, but still the same advantage.
To make things better you're always going to annoy some people, and please others.
Xball... eliminates this outside coaching... because it's allowed.
Ramping... eliminates gun cheats (to a larger extent than before)
But by doing this, your losing a market of some players.
swings and roundabouts.
