Sure, but again that doesn't mean the umpire is cheating, making up his own rules or calling your favourite player a doody head. It's also not an interpretation - it's black and white, written in clear English with a picture attached. In terms of AFL laws it doesn't get any clearer. It's also something that has been a rule for quite some time. Make it as obvious as Lever did (running straight to the man on the mark) and you're quite rightly going to get pinged.

You're not wrong, but that doesn't mean the umpire is making up rules or interpreting them in their own way. It's a rule, written in black and white with a picture to boot. There's no excuse from Lever for not knowing it.

But he wasn't outside 5 metres behind the mark, hence the free kick. If he had stayed 5 metres out there wouldn't have been a free paid. To be absolutely clear - The protected area extends 5 metres behind the player on the mark, and 10 metres either side.

Goody in the post match - "We were thinking of subbing Rooey off." What convinced you not to sub him off? "He took one mark" Love it. 🤣

Jacob van Rooyened the Tigers. Love it.

Todays fourth quarter has been brought to you by Grundeee and Rooooooooo. That is all.

You're look at the wrong rule. 20.1.2 is what you want. ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Okay. These umpires are [censored] useless.

HOW THE [censored] WASN'T THAT A 50! Umpire dissent should be suspended for pathetic [censored] like that.

I really wish we'd learn to keep 1 player on the ground during a 2v1 instead of both flying for the grab.

Yep. It's an offence that isn't paid often, but it is against the rules.

No he didn't. 5 meters behind the mark, 10 metres either side of the player on the mark is also a part of the protected area. The AFL rules are available for all to read. 20.1.2 (a).

Nope.

I both love Kozzie and am sometimes so frustrated by Kozzie. He was nowhere near that, but I wouldn't have it any other way either!

Smashing performances of both anthems. Love it.

No.

GRUNDY FFS TAKE A KICK MAN

Enough of the pretend fancy [censored]. Just get the [censored] job done.

Yep. He's usually such a good kick too. Everyone is playing a bit down.

I've got an idea. Let's blaze away and waste our set shots inside 50. Great option Tracc.

Stupid Tommo. Absolutely stupid.

How did the close umpire miss that?!

Shocking choice there Chandler. Great grab and goal Melks!

Damn. Hope it improves for the rest of the game for you.

It's been flawless here for me. Maybe try restarting whatever device it is you're watching on?
