Another good segment with Ray this week covering some of the contentious ones from the weekend. It still baffles me that at AFL level, rules go out the window in the goal square and the error in this case is actually applying the rules. It's just not a problem umpiring at lower levels because you just pay it without thinking about it- obvious free.

Rankine running 24.2m against the Pies in 2024, and what did you think this week too far or not? Did the ump stuff it?

For those who don't have/didn't catch this on Fox, this was another excellent segment with Razor going over the HTB rule with examples from the weekend. We often say the commentators need to get better with the rules, but we should probably keep learning too. We can feel free to not like rules, we can also point out when we think the umps got it wrong. But it is hard enough that umpires get blasted for things they miss/get wrong, and then people are also blasting them for things they get right. Often, we are part of the problem.
