It's not a question of common sense if the rules don't allow it. It was like the old days where an umpire who went early with a whistle to pay a mark would end up with egg on his face if the player dropped it. The mark couldn't be recalled. They changed the rule to allow the umpire to call play on. That's a common sense result but it couldn't be done under the old rules.
