Playingt on from Out of bounds...
In our game, Adam Goode was taking a kick late in the game from out of bounds, and he played on. He moved to his left off the mark and his first 2 or 4 paces were on the outside of the boundary line. He kicked a goal from memory, or a least put the ball into a goal scoring position. In todays game, a player played on from out of bounds near the point post, and the umpire called him back and took the ball off hom and bounced it. This was the correct decision. In other words Goode was allowed to blatently break the rules.

Hasn't this always been the case with Goodes?borderbarry wrote:In our game, Adam Goode was taking a kick late in the game from out of bounds, and he played on.

Bring back the Lockett era
I don't get how it wouldn't be allowed.
Are you saying that if you've marked it right on the boundary line, and are tucked into a pocket lining up for goal, you can't play on?
Because the only place you can play on in that position is when you're out of bounds.
If Goodes held his line, he would've been kicking from beyond the boundary line.
While we're here, umpires do a lousy job at lining a player up when they've marked it deep in a pocket.

At some of the small suburban grounds I have known, he would have been playing on from inside the clubhouse!
There should be some ruling controlling the play-on situation outside the field of play. In other sports I have umpired/refereed, once the ball goes outside the field of play the game ceases until the ball is returned in a controlled fashion.

Australia...... Live it like we stole it....... Because we did.
he did go off his line but the umpire did not call play on so therefore he is still behind the mark as far as the umpire is concerned, similar to the 50 that got paid to BJ. In hindsight it was a mistake and is one of those that sometimes gets missed because of the angles the umpires are on, there are alot worse missedevertonfc wrote:I noticed it as well, couldn't believe it wasn't paid.
However, maybe it's only relevant if you go off your line?

I've wondered what the rule is about players playing on from outside the field of play. There are a lot of cases where a player goes to take a free kick and moves outside the boundary and is then called to play on while still over the line.
While it makes sense to allow him to get his kick in, I've wondered if a boundary umpire would be correct to call it out of bounds?

Opinions are like arseholes, everybody's got one.
