Last post by DJC -Just in case you thought that 50m penalty against Harry & Crippa made no sense, get a load of this for an explanation :

It's the vibe !!!!
Laura Kane might be very good at her job but she has no idea when it comes to explaining umpiring decisions. She should delegate that part of her role to someone who understands footy.
As for the 50m penalty, Crippa was the closest player to where the mark was taken and Harry was a couple of metres away. The umpire should have told Crippa to stand and Harry to move away.
Then there's the Henry mark. Forgetting about the blatant push in the back that took Young out of the contest, the goal umpire's call was a behind. The review footage provided a good view of the goal post but absolutely no vision of the ball and Henry. The outcome had to be "umpire's call".
