Seems like 4 times per game a player crosses through the mark, never paid 50 anymore.

I thought they got rid of that and replaced it with the generic "must be following within 2m of a opponent" rule.Seems like 4 times per game a player crosses through the mark, never paid 50 anymore.

Max Holmes scored a push in the back free yesterday, 10m off the play, while standing upright.In the back. Happens multiple times a quarter and only gets called in very specific instances, eg an extremely clear tackle in the back on a player that already on the ground, or a defender clearly pushing a forward in the back in a 1:1 contest.
Nope. Still can't cross infront of the kick.I thought they got rid of that and replaced it with the generic "must be following within 2m of a opponent" rule.

Rule 20.1.2.b
No Player shall enter and remain in the Protected Area unless the field
Umpire calls ‘Play On’ or the Player from the opposing Team is accompanying or
following within two metres of their opponent. Any Player caught in the Protected
Area must make every endeavour to immediately vacate the Protected Area.
I'm pretty sure it was Cameron who had this called against him recently, kicked a ball after it was out of bounds.Also can’t kick it well after the whistle even if it was just a boundary throw-in, it’s meant to be adjudicated same as a free kick in terms of that.
That's the protected area. That's not the mark.Rule 20.1.2.b

I understood the question to mean the line between where the man on the mark is and the player with the ball.That's the protected area. That's not the mark.
It was even clarified on SEN when they changed the rule to confirm that players couldn't do it
Cumberland from Richmond copped a 50 for it on Saturday. Wasn't even a big boot of itI'm pretty sure it was Cameron who had this called against him recently, kicked a ball after it was out of bounds.
Was definitely a Cat.
Edit: And, to be clear, I'm not complaining, just observing that it did happen, and isn't completely forgotten.
In ruck contests in the forward line, Hawkins, Walker and Dixon get away with multiple blatant shoves in the back every weekIn the back. Happens multiple times a quarter and only gets called in very specific instances, eg an extremely clear tackle in the back on a player that already on the ground, or a defender clearly pushing a forward in the back in a 1:1 contest.

Give me four times this year where that has happened? I don't recall anyone actually crossing the mark and the player without getting pinged. I see plenty with the protected zone following their opponent but never crossing the actual mark.Seems like 4 times per game a player crosses through the mark, never paid 50 anymore.

Just watch any game, and I mean any game.Give me four times this year where that has happened? I don't recall anyone actually crossing the mark and the player without getting pinged. I see plenty with the protected zone following their opponent but never crossing the actual mark.
I've watched more than my share this year and not seen it once.Just watch any game, and I mean any game.
I counted 3 times in the brissie vs Carlton game alone
The one that annoys me that never gets paid is the rule about holding a player to stop them getting involved in the play again after disposing of the ball. According to the rules, it should be a 50m penalty, but never gets called.
Paying 50 for holding on or preventing a player from getting the ball after a mark or free kick seems to have mostly disappeared
If you have a mark or free and are outside the field of play they will never call play on (or a behind) unless the player clearly moves in one direction and then turns to another direction before entering the play. It very, very rarely happens so it doesn't get called often.With the 'back to the 9' rule I don't see much playing on from behind the goals getting pinged for a behind, since no one seems to need to play on from back there. I recall it happening to Maynard back in 2018.
Watching old highlights I kinda miss the "kick it to yourself" after a behind... not so much a forgotten rule as a replaced one though.
