Suckling and Franklin play on when they kick long set shots

Chalk and cheese. In both those examples the Siren had not gone.

Siren had gone on the Hawkins kick.
Regardless, please post the rule that says that kicks after the siren are different.
play on is play on is play on

Does it make any difference? Neither were called play on so they still would have been allowed after the siren

Siren went just after the Hawkins kick . You are allowed to play on before the siren , probably why it was not called as it made no difference to the end result.

Go back to this game and listen to the UMP when Griffin was having his shot AFTER the siren. He was told to come straight in.

Siren wen as Hawkins was running in to kick it.
Again, the rules don't differentiate as to wether or not it's during the quarter or after the siren. If so please post the rule here. But you can't can you?
Play on is play on.
The whole "play" on thing is designed for when the quarter is still on. Hence why it's called "play on"


Edit: here the is when the umpire is blowing the whistle to signal full time. BEFORE HAWKINS KICKS.
Not that it makes a difference. Just not sure why you insist otherwise, it's clear as day

But the umpire should have called 'Play On' as soon as they left the line, meaning the man on the mark could rush forward and easily spoil.

Right?

Your stretching now in normal shots it is usually called when the kick happens

It's ridiculous there are different rules for certain players. It's up the players to adjust their technique to fit within the rules, not the other way around. The AFL is a joke

I reckon Freo stuffed up by having so many players on the mark. Harder for the umpire to tell EXACTLY where the mark was after he had backed away.

If there was only one guy there standing the mark, maybe even taking a sneaky shuffle to their left as suckers came in, it would have been so much more apparent....

I agree with the OP.

It's a flippin' disgrace that Buddy Franklin and Matt Suckling are given special exemptions from the rules.

The should be called play on every time they step off their line.

Fixed your post!

I honestly don't know what people look at. About 90% of AFL players move offline when they are trying for extra distance, and yet people carry on as though only 2 players do it.

 

[Chubberson]

Good thread.

I wonder how many fifty metre penalties will get paid against players standing still, 5.1m away from the kicker as they swoop towards them.

The umpire should be able to determine a distance that a player is allowed to stand beside the mark, outside the 5m protected zone, just like a snap shot on goal. As long as that player "manning the arc" doesn't move it will be interesting to see what an umpire does when a natural arc gets closer than 5m.

Agreed, the AFL should sanction both Sydney and the WB for this clear, outrageous exploitation of clear and concise rules and guidelines
