There has been alot of negative commentary about that free..."It's not in the spirit of the game" blah blah blah. There is a time wasting rule and when it was introduced a few years back, I remember we were penalised for the exact same thing, (I think it was against Jake Lloyd).
I wish they would concentrate on the time wasting when an opponent won't let us get up off the ground after a free. They have stopped paying 50 for that. That wastes more time than not giving the ball back straight to the umpire.
