Surely if there was a free kick on the 50m arc and someone takes a bounce and hacks a shot from 30m out, they've definitely played on to advantage. Ridiculous to call that kick back.
The commentators were praising the umpires for letting things go & being a free flowing game - I think they meant that it was good to see the umpires turning a blind eye to indiscretions by Brisbane, because they seemed to quickly call a free when it was a Geelong player they deemed to have caused harm/interference/wrong doing blah blah blah

Are we playing the Brisbane Lions or Brisbane Broncos?
It's more frustrating when they drop or throw the ball but then we are pinged for a free kick for holding or some other crap
 
Guess the last touch rule only applies off a Geelong boot.
We got that same benefit in the first quarter (think it was off Ivey) - they tend to look at if it was a deliberate kick & not just incidental off the toe

be nice to get a free kick though for high contact
 
Darby pushed in the back in a marking contest in our forward 50, from the Brisbane kick outside our 50 the Brisbane player is tackled & throws it out behind her - all just called play on
