If the play stops, as happened with the Ablett goal, there shouldn't be an advantage opportunity. If the play is continuous, allowing advantage is appropriate.
It's not rocket science but it should be within the competence of all umpires to determine when to apply the advantage rule.
There's no excuse for letting a mistaken advantage call proceed.
It's one of the few times a ump can change his mind and re-start play.
