Yeah its not contested and that isn't physical pressure.Right so it’s your belief that had Jones taken a mark instead of spoiling the ball in that situation it would have been registered as an uncontested mark?
I mean he physically bumps into Jones on the way down
FWIW I've seen marks like that (had he marked it) not registered as contested marks before on the AFL stats app. I've also seen ones where players jump over other players (a bit like the one Jezzalinko!!! took in the photo upthread) categorised the same way and while I thought it was weird at the time once I read the definition about other players putting pressure on the marking player it did make sense.
To my mind if people are looking at that incident and thinking what happened was part of a marking contest instead of an incidental contact outside of a marking contest then its no wonder so many stupid arguments happen on this board.
