Clubs get away with this, clearly something we should be investing more time in.eI think it was either Gibbons or Martin who did the same for McKay/McGovern on a couple of occasions, on one they were penalised and on another they got away with it.
I don't know how many times we got two players to the fall of the ball uncontested by opponents and spoiled each other, it shows a lack of voice because they can't blame the crowd noise at the moment!
I don't know what to think of the umpire instructing the Port player to go back through the goals, how would that fair if it was the last moments of a GF and the scores were level? I must say, I'm not a fan of rules being applied subjectively, umpires are there to umpire not to coach idiots out of making stupid mistakes.
