Umpires

Also to mention. Vogels mark and free kick in front of the Churchill stand. As he was running in, the umpire called play on. Vogel side stepped and passed to Moore who then kicked a behind.

The point is that Matthew Lloyd can take 3 minutes to set up and kick for goal and Vogel was called to play on as he was running in.

Did Vogels stray off the line of the mark as he was running in? That could be the only (legit) reason for calling play-on as he was running in.

Nope, was clearly the "hurry up" and showed great presence of mind to do the dodge and pass off to Moore.
Probably would've kicked from 51/52m if he was allowed to.
Two different sets of rules...........................

I thought the umpires were calling play on throughout the match if the player took to long to kick it. Must be one of those mid-season rule re-interpretations.

Vogels did well though, nice dummy and pass to Moore.

Don't you know that there is a different rulebook for Matthew Lloyd (its actually for him and Hird).

I heard printing costs were in the order of $20,000 - does anyone know if this is true?
