I also heard "touched play on, touched play on, touched play on" when I watched the 'Last 2 minutes' video of the AFL website here:
Last Two Minutes: Sydney Swans clinch a thriller
On that video, I there is absolutely no way I could reintepret that audio as saying "play on not 15"
However, the commentator said he thought the umpire said "not 15"
So I wonder if one umpire said "touched, play on", (picked up on Channel 7 broadcast), whereas the other umpire's audio of "not 15" went to the commentators/Fox Footy? If thats the case, and one umpire spotted and called 'touched', regardless of an incorrect call by the other other umpire, Play-on was the correct decision.
In any event, as many others have pointed out, the Cats were beneficiaries of a number of other inarguably incorrect decisions throughout the game that directly resulted goals. So the ourtcome for the game was fair.
