AFL Rd 7 2022 Post Game Permutations Carlton vs North Melbourne

[kruddler]

The problem is not so much with the rules but the inconsistency of interpretation by the umpires.
Some players were penalised right away last night. Others were given until this morning to dispose of it.
If you apply a strict interpretation a player like Cripps would be free kicked out of the game.

Exactly.

The inconsistency of it was a joke.

Both with holding the ball (or not)
and the 'stand' rule being umpired correctly.

There were times where a player lined up 2m offline and was not play on, there were other times where they were directly behind and just throught about moving and got told to play on.
