Yep. He attempted to and couldn't get a fist to it. Under my understanding you don't have to legally dispose with no prior. Only attempt to.

So Cox's one hand handball shouldn't have been a free against.

Marshall looking dangerous
Nah this would mean you can effectively throw the ball

Well that's the problem with the holding the ball rule. With no prior, you can't have make an attempt AND incorrect disposal.

That's a different thing though. Cox wasn't a throw. He didn't attempt to throw it.
Why is the AFL so ****ing inept with their scheduling?
Two twilight games - good idea for something different - and they are both at EXACTLY THE SAME TIME

We make every side look good. Our coach plays tall wingman in a runners game. Every sides midfield has extra smalls.
I just rewatched - he got tackled, the ball spilled out, then he reached out for it and it tapped towards a teammate (whether he was intending that or not) all while being tackled.
Looked like the kind of one handed handball that gets penalised pretty consistently

But it shouldn't under the no prior rules. Only have to make an attempt to dispose correctly.
Reckon this is a weird stand to take. Looked like a clear free to me in real time and on replay.

They love doubling up and overlapping games. Absolutely useless bunch of overpaid morons run the league.Why is the AFL so ****ing inept with their scheduling?

Saints highest scoring first quarter for the year
Because if you think a player should be able to get rid of it any way possible when there's no prior - including one-handed handpasses or throws - then there's a lot of free kicks being paid that according to your literal application of the written rule would argue against.
