A score is wiped up to that point if a captain calls a count and the opposing team has more than 18 at the time of the count.
Separately, an interchange infringement if called by the 4th umpire incurs a free plus 50m. An extra player coming off through the interchange gate is not an interchange infringement.
None of the above happened so it should have just been play on.
The total score?
There is only one other league in the state that still plays by that rule, would've thought they've adapted to the newer system.
Yep, the whole score, I wasn't aware other comps did something different.
It's all in Rule 5.5 of the SANFL laws. But only if the opposition captain calls a count, can't be applied any other way.
If the opposition captain doesn't call a count then no penalties of any sort should apply.
Cut and dried.
For people that say it's antiquated and unfair to suggest a captain could do that in 3 mins and 39 seconds a NEAFL captain managed to do it last weekend. Weirdly the opposition score wasn't wiped as per the rules state they should have been. There should be an uproar there!
