I'll reiterate, docherty had a good 5m on his opponent leading towards the wing. When the ball arrived there was no 5m.
At best it might conform to Champion Data's version of a contested mark, in that the opponent was within 3 metres.
Doc had as much if not more space than Hollands own mark, and as much if not more space than Acres marking, with opposition zoning that is pretty much as good as you can expect.
