Looks like the ball wasn't out though when Docherty was hit , so is it based on where the ball was when he was hit or where the ball finishes ?

Might need to get the rule book out.

But then where do they determine you take the free , from where the ball crossed the line I guess.

You’d be less upset with the decision if they employed it the same way earlier in the quarter on the two occasions freo players were hit late after disposing of the ball. Ball got brought right back to the point where it was originally kicked, allowing for Carlton to get back and have better position.

But they were both push in the back though in the act of the kicking action .

Weren't they ? Now I am even more confused.
