The ducking part or the if you duck it is play on, therefore holding the ball? Both times they definitely ducked.
McAdam was paid a mark in the last right in front of goal after he dropped it. He even played on and hand balled knowing he dropped it.
The worst decision of the day was the non-holding the ball when Poole was tackled running in to goal. That should have been a free kick to Sturt given they were hot on holding the ball all day.
A rare moment when I will disagree with you.
I thought watching live he marked it, then I cursed when he played on. I reckon he had enough of it on the replay also.
If you look at the top 50 AFL marks of all time you will see players with less of what McAdam had of it on there.
My explanation of the play on would be that at Unley against North he took a similar grab, and the ball bounced free when he landed, the umpire called play on that day. Probably his memory of that warned him that it would happen again.
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail
