afaik there’s no defensive mark in gaelic football. i haven’t watched or played it in maybe three years or so.

the only instances where a mark is awarded is a clean catch outside the 45 from a kickout or inside the 45 on the attack after a 20m pass from outside the 45.

i’m open to correction a defender taking a mark over a forward doesn’t get rewarded.

the gaa have a fantastic way of complicating the most simple of things.

I'm 99% sure there is a defensive mark. But now I'm doubting myself.

Anyone?

There is 100% a defensive mark in football. Not even up for debate. Just rarely used.

Only to an extent, they have given up on their expansive attacking football and playing absolute blanket, it’ll be good enough vs mayo but they won’t be challenging Dublin or Kerry which they thought they would 2 months ago
