The ones they showed however were an appeal for a free by the players for deliberate out of bounds so there is a difference albeit subtle and whilst I dont like players doing, that's not a free in my mind. The Coniglio one was according to the rule, if they aren't paid on other occasions, that's on the umpire at the time, it doesn't make yesterdays call wrong.
I think there's a big difference between appealling for a free and questioning a decision.
That was quite silly with the footy show trying to draw a comparison in the McGovern case.
No decision had been made, McGovern was just appealing for the free to be paid, so no dissent at all.
