There is a difference between 'cribbing' and running at the player though. The 50's are generally paid (and I agree, they are harsh) when the player with the ball is 'playing on' yet 'Play On' has not been called. The player on the mark identifies what is going to happy, jumps the umpires 'starting gun' to close down space and is penalised...the one where the player on the mark cribs 2-3m (Collingwood are the masters) generally leads to the 'get back' call.
I didn't like the Huddo one and I would bet the umpire in question regrets paying the 50m penalty.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.
Has anyone else noticed the art of running next to the man with the ball after a free kick and pretending to not know you are in his space so he can't play on.
The Pies get away with this trick over and over.
