Not 15...... play on.
Trend I'm seeing unfortunately is being soft on general cheating (htm, in the back) not paying HTB enough, allowing dubious disposal and being too strict on paying a mark (one of the best bits of play all of a sudden perfection matters, go figure)
Normally I like when umpires start games or even seasons quite strict, it stops holding, throwing and other messy shit building up in the game.
If they keep it up the game might get quite messy. Then they'll finally start paying frees and people will get upset

I must have missed the memo but is it now deemed legal to just throw the ball out of a contest without it hitting hand or foot…is incorrect disposal no longer a rule?

As long as one hand touches the ball while you're under pressure it counts as a handball.

2025 umpiring..."throwing the ball as long as an attempt is made to handball when being tackled is OK".
No AFL, it's holding the ball you bunch of f**ktards. Supporters don't like this

Umps are letting rucks just wrestle and not really paying frees when the ball hits the ground. Think I saw the ball hit the ground on ball up more in round 1 than most of last year.
