In the space of two weeks, we've traversed from rushed behinds that were virtually universally-acknowledged to warrant a free kick to an accidental rushed behind that is penalised under the new rule and which, I suspect, will be virtually universally-acknowledged as completely the wrong decision.
The ONLY saving grace was the Collingwood player's sporting kick ;-) to hit the opposite behind post and so not register a score.
Since it was an umpire who made the blunder, there's only one practical response: Release the Giesch!!

That was a rubbish decision. you think he kicked it out on the full on purpose?
No, mate. Just being very facetious! If he could make that kick to order he'd be the most valuable player in the competition.
