Not even mentioned in the MRO report.

The actual video and slo-mo replay: And the Hawkins one that's been mentioned for comparison (MRO called it exaggeration, but not excessive exaggeration, so no fine):

Going to jump in and add my 2 cents because you've made some well-reasoned points that can actually be debated, and are actually considering what it is about our play style that gets us on top of the free kick differential. I've gone and put a little too much time into this (helps that I'm home...

So we already ask the umpires to be mind readers and assess the players intent when they dispose of the ball. That's fine, they mostly do a good job of that. With your interpretation, you're adding yet another extremely grey layer of decision making where they have to calculate the theoretical...

Based on Redpath's, this should be intentional, low impact, body contact = $1500 fine. Of course, more sensibly, it should be nothing. But let's not forget Easton Wood also copped a fine (and suspension for a third offense this year) for this on Mitch McGovern:

Just to correct a few things you've said here... Firstly, no, an argument around sufficient force was always going to be the most difficult one to make, as it would rely on Davis himself admitting he wasn't hurt and contact was negligible - wasn't going to happen. So the Dogs argued against...

Do you happen to have a more recent source than mine to back this up? Don't recall hearing about this apparent change in the last 12 months, and can't find anything myself. And your thoughts on the shot clock starting well in advance of the umpire setting the mark?

Here's a bit of clarity on the actual interpretation on the 30 second shot clock from an AFL spokesman, in a 2016 article: “The clock starts when the umpire believes it to be apparent the player is taking a shot for goal, and sets the mark,’’ an AFL spokesman said. “If there is a delay for any...

Agree it was the correct call (one of few for the match), but I have a serious problem with the rule, or its current interpretation. It's illogical that a player running forward of the mark by a metre or two, going nowhere near the player with the ball, is deemed to put that player at 50 metres...
