It was unusual but I can believe it if it was touched near the kicker. However his mark close to goal in the first quarter should have been paid. Ball then goes up the other end and Darling (I think) held onto one for less time but it was paid. I suspect the difference was that Stringer's was close to goal and the game was still in the balance in front of a hostile crowd. Not saying that was the ump's thought process - probably more a subconscious one.Still amazed how he got a mark taken off him for touched, when there was no touch. An umpire on the other side of the ******* field overruled an umpire a few metres from the ball
Anyway, it's easy to get away with not paying it in those situations.
