Umpires have been reminded to call play on if players fake to try to milk a 50-metre penalty from the stand rule as Carlton’s Sam Docherty successfully did in the blockbuster at the MCG on Sunday.
The AFL believes the umpire missed the play on and so while De Goey moved from the mark before play on was called and technically this is a correctly applied decision, the play on was missed in the first instance. AFL umpires boss Dan Richardson would not be drawn on specific cases like the De Goey incident or other contentious decisions in the Carlton-Collingwood blockbuster but said the AFL has long been concerned about players trying to milk frees and con umpires whether it was with the stand rule or drawing head high tackles.“Players are aware that the stand rule has been in for two years now and how it operates.
