And using your wonderful method of estimating, how far is the North player away from the ball??Jeez, can't just agree to disagree, can you?
Righty-ho, putting up on the screen here at work, assuming the Port guy is 1.8m tall he measures in at a whopping 15mm. From the ball to Jacobs is 275mm, giving a distance across the 2D flat image of 33m.
Allowing for the fact that it's 3D going from the boundary in the pocket to outside the 50m then you'd add in about 3-ish metres I'd reckon, giving a grand total of - I reckon - about 36(ish) metres, damn close to your own estimation of 40m - hardly the 70m you reckon my scaling makes it out to be.
If you think the North player was closer than that, then fine. I agree to disagree. But if your are seriously trying to say that it was a deliberate kick to a lead then that is just bollocks. There was no one leading to that space at all - just everyone trying to get to where it was AFTER it was kicked and they could see where it was going.
