When an opponent uses you as a ladder, you can end up with a nasty injury, and a destroyed shirt.
In today’s big AFL game between St Kilda and Hawthorn poor old Thomas Lee was on the receiving end of a big Cyril Rioli mark.
The Hawthorn high flyer was using Lee to climb into the air, a totally legitimate tactic in the AFL, but the boot in the back not only ripped the shirt off Lee, it also left nasty mark on the back of the Saints player.
It’s not fun being a stepladder. #bootstuds #aflsaintshawks pic.twitter.com/FwfKzIPdMC

To make matters worse for Lee, St Kilda lost by 46 points too.
