I see those being called against us 100% of the time in the same scenario.

They were correct in my opinion.
Without a shadow of a doubt.

Can you recall the last dissent free you saw paid this year? :think:

We can all be appreciative of the umps today because Collingwood 100% should have received a 50 m penalty to win them the game last night, McCartin ran 5m over the mark and it wasn't called.

He stopped once the whistle was blown & immediately started backing up when the umpire was setting the mark at which point the player with the ball played on.
If he hadn’t immediately started retreating it would have been called. I thought it was to the letter of the law & followed the whistle. Can’t do more than that.

Mmm I kind of see it differently, he knew it was a mark and should have stopped a lot faster than he did. We had a fifty in exactly the same fashion last week.
 
The Collingwood player played on before he got back to the mark.
But what about Cox earlier in the game jumping forward of the mark when the Swans player was having a set shot? Swans player missed and should have been a 50.

Yeah problem with that is if it’s touched off the kick and everyone stops around the player who took the non-mark instead of pressuring. I’m pretty sure the general instruction is still to play to the whistle.

But there have been so many situations of damned if you do, damned if you don’t this year, it’s been comical at times
