Fact that both you and TJ both remember or research rules and clauses of the game means that the both of you are more qualified than Laura and Andrew.Not only that, but this is what 20.2 (b) says -
(b) If a Player does not dispose of the football within a reasonable time, or attempts to dispose of the football other than in a direct line over The Mark, the field Umpire shall call ‘Play On’ and the football shall immediately be in play.
So I would like to know how the umpire not calling play on was an error? Because Scott didn't attempt to dispose of the football at all. He simply took a handful of steps, arguably off the line of the mark, without making any attempt to dispose of the ball at all.
Turns out that the law of the game (as best as I can tell) don't mention anything about calling play on if a player runs off the line of the mark. Which is the common perception (including mine).
