I will never understand why they count a long kick to a contest that is marked by the opposition as a clanger. You could argue that it should be a clanger to the teammate in the contest that didn't do their job.
Are you sure that's the case? I thought a long kick to a contest if not marked by a team mate was just an ineffective kick which scores zero, not a clanger. I thought a clanger was an obvious turnover or kicking out on the full or giving away a free.

I find it is a contested mark it is ok, but if it is marked uncontested (which quite often can be because of poor body work or not reading the flight) then it is counted as a clanger. That last kick out by Himmleberg was put down as a clanger, but prob wasn't really a clanger kick.
