They tinker with it so much it’s hard to keep up.I was waiting to see how they'd rule it in this circumstance... i dont know why it's not a penalty
By the rule he's in front of the play the ball before the ball goes past
And to be clear i dont think that SHOULD be a penalty but curious as to why it's not
And the answer might be that ive misinterpreted what the rule actually is!
Isn't it only a downtown issue if he's ahead of the PTD when the ball's played? I was cringing cos Parra but I thought he ran a decoy off the PTB...
No, it's if they move beyond the PTB before it's kicked.

It's not what the rule was intended for, but a clear breach.
I played local footy around the same time Mick Weyman was coming through. I only played against him once, but I still remember wishing that he had footwork like that, because then he wouldn’t have run so hard in a straight line and trampled me like I was a fly hitting a windscreen.Wtf front rowers shouldn’t have footwork like that
