A player takes an arms up overhead mark that is punched clear before even a second ticks by, and the umpires pay the mark.
Harry holds the footy 2x longer and isn't rewarded, we need to be asking the questions now in advance of next season.
The AFL would never admit it, but the "free-kick-Curnow" uproar late last year has effected the way the umpires look at Charlie and H. They are both still getting the odd free, but never 2 in a row, and really never 2 in a quarter. the oppo know they can tunnel/chop/block them and only 10% of them will be called
