I reckon BT saw the umpire's arms raised for end of quarter and misinterpreted the situation.  I didn't think Cameron ran too far off the line anyway.

Absolutely.

BT thought he saw something, didn't realise it was something else and ran with it.
As mentioned, i haven't heard anyone else say the umpire called play on, just BT.

As for Cameron running too far offline....thats debateable. TBH, i don't care one way or another. I'd prefer it to happen in a game we win by 10 goals than in a close one.

He looked pretty straight running to me too.

Not sure what all the fuss is about.  Mcgoverb turns to his left as well to accentuate it a little.

Several commentators, Dwayne Russell for example, have said that Cameron played on but I haven't heard anyone say that the umpire called "play on". 

Looking at the replay, it is clear that BT confused the "time" signal for "play on".  It also seems pretty clear that McGovern is demonstrating why it should have been "play on" rather than "dead ball".  The umpire's position, 90 degrees to Cameron's run up, meant that he wouldn't have been able to see whether Cameron played on. 

Players are allowed their "natural arc" and I'm not sure whether Cameron was deliberately improving the angle and kicking around McGovern or following his normal goal kicking action.

The error, if there was one, was not calling "play on" rather than giving the "all clear" as I mistakenly posted previously.

Watching the game, my wife steap in the room to watch some of the footy with me, bang the Cowman kicks a goal. Wife "why are they booing him" Me "no babe thats not a boo thats a Mooooooooooooo" AND did you know Carlton kick the most goals from free kicks. Is that because A) Other teams cannot kick straight or B) I am now convinced when BRIAN commentates he and the rest cannot say one good thing about us when we are winning, plenty when we are losing
Go BAGGERS

Taylor doesn't like Carlton much like Luke Darcy and the excitement in his voice when we are struggling makes me turn the sound off and go with radio commentary.

We were behind the punt road end goals level two with a clear view of the line of the kick, Cameron ran way off line if you ask me. Geelong supporters in the box behind me were pissing themselves laughing about it. Academic at the end of the day but if it was the last kick of the night to decide the game (or a final), I'm tipping many on here would have had aneurysms.
