when people hack my mallet it is supper annoying but having said that as long as it is not done so savagely that it bend my mallet its fair that the goalie should not just be a tripod
being a good goalie requires loads of skill, self and bike control
I think the goalie position is one that people who are less confident in play gravitate to because they feel they can just sit there and be useful by blocking the ball with their bike so anything that challenges them to be more involved is good. In most games I have seen it also tends to be quite a gendered role in mixed teams with the girls doing a lot of the defending and the boys attacking
