The crazy third man up rule strikes > 
The boundary throw in clears the rucks and heads straight to a Carlton player who understandably goes for the ball. Free kick and goal to the Bulldogs.
“Why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don’t you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don’t you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?” Oddball

Was pointed out by Mel Hickey that the umps told them if the boundary umpire effectively throws directly to another player, they are entitled to hit the ball.
Basically saying the umps got it 100% wrong.
Not sure you can blame the rule for that, more the umps.

The ball wasn't thrown directly to our player, it simply cleared the two nominated rucks. We got a free kick shortly after when the ball cleared the rucks and landed on a Bulldog's chest. The umpires were consistent : 
Nathan Burke's comment about allowing the ball to bounce before trying to take possession being contrary to the way the game has always been played summed it up for me.

Good effort by the girls to hold off a determined and fast finishing opposition. Nice to see the scores getting higher. Quite possibly we were saved by the bell, but there's nothing wrong with that.
Bravo bluettes.

The ball was thrown out of reach of the ruckmen. Our player was there. Thus it was thrown directly to our player. It was not a case of our player going to the contest and interfering with the contest.
Yes, it was evened up later in a similar situation.
Two wrongs don't make a right though.
As you mentioned, Burke and Hickey highlighted that the only alternative is for the players to run away from the ball as it is coming towards them. Clearly that is farcical, which highlights that the umpires interpretation of the rule was indeed incorrect as i stated earlier.

Must be close to a record score this year. Certainly a record aggregate.
