You talking about Hogan?

The last 11 grand final winners come from 7 teams and only 1 of them is in the 8 right now. (Tigers, Pies, Cats, Dees, Dogs, Eagles and Hawks)
I'm tipping with all the stats you have that you are related to Bruce McAveney...lol.

Yes, it would have been a free if it was Toby, particularly with the extension of the leg after the mark was taken.
I think the rule was relaxed under Steve Hocking’s reign.

I just have a good memory for such things.
I see a pattern and I look into it.
Eg... tigers are last and they won 3 flags recently. Pies are outside the 8 and they won last year. Hawks won a few but are outside....etc.
Just like stats i pull from games. I use my eyes first and then check it against the stats. Eyes are always first though.

We had a discussion about it on Saturday watching at a friend's place and we couldn't agree. Many wanted it to be a free kick because you can't put studs up like that and I said I don't think that's the rule. Would have been comfortable chalking it off as a free kick but I can't differentiate a knee from a foot in that circumstance.
That's my problem with the in the back rule for what it's worth. It's not about hands on the back, it's about unfairly pushing an opponent under the ball drop.
Probably shouldn't have been paid at the time but thats a problem the umpiring and MRO creates when we focus too hard on outcome driven policy and not enough on action driven policy.

Much of the rules made by the AFL are asymmetrical because it's driven by the media commentary, if a lowly defender did that to a power forward blokes like BT and Darcy would go berserk about it, the forward has to have a chance, you can't do that, it's illegal, but when it's a forward launching to they laud it as a great mark, terrific use of the body, he allowed to hold his ground, etc., etc..
You've heard it a thousand times before.
The question becomes, is that what the public want to see? If the AFL think the commentary is aligned to the public expectation, they'll make sure it happens.
Most fans though find the variability frustrating, we just want the rules the same for everybody, we don't want to see the superstar discounts.

I noticed Darcy Moore put his knee away on Friday night.
