- judging by the emphatic way in which Martin and Crumbles argued the point with the umpire, I'd say it was the Hardwick interpretation that was prevalent in the mind set of Martin when he did it.
100% hardwick has said to do it at training.
Dumb, sneaky essendon stuff.

I think they practice it at training for extended periods

The umpire was correct & Dusty had plenty of time too turn & move the ball in another direction.

Stupid mistake from Martin. Umpire's call was correct.

What was he thinking from 20 metres away?
We can thank Brent Guerra for that rule.

DELIBERATE DUSTY
Dustin Martin will be studying the rule book closely this week after he was penalised for a deliberate rushed behind against Fremantle.
Martin was under some pressure when he conceded — a fact he pointed out to the umpire. The only problem was he was about 20m out when he pumped the ball over the head of his opponents and over the goal-line.
Danyle Pearce happily accepted the free kick and goaled from point-blank range.
Martin was technically right, and there is nothing in law 15.7 that specifies how close a player has to be to get away with a rushed behind. After Saturday’s incident, perhaps there should be.
