what i mean is, the rules, and the equipment are so far in advantage of the striker, it's ridiculous. with composite sticks, if your technique is good enough you can flick a ball at head level harder than you can hit it. i would want more than a mask tbh.

nothing has changed for the defender in the same period, really. (skip might be able answer this? has it?)

having been on the end of a certain foz member's mentally deranged brother's strikes and flicks as a goalkeeper (and this was 3 years ago) you have to have some nads to get in front of the ball these days sans cricket glove/face mask
nah mate nothings changed for the defenders, well not at the level I hack around at.... but yeah I would be wearing gloves and a mask too, the speed and power they get on the drag flicks is dangerous.

Saw the result of my cousin getting his head in the road of one and wasn't a pretty sight, fractured eye socket and shit and I have copped a broken hand from a ball, gloves and mask ftw.
