Fair enough.Its probably semantics but just because play doesn't stop that
doesn't mean there was\wasn't contact.Also, as long as the ball is with 5
metres or the player has possession you can hit him anywhere between the
shoulders and knees.

I sat in a hotel (pub for you Brits, bar for you Yanks) in Toowoomba next to a
retired ALF (back when it was the VFL) having him explain the rules. Pretty
much if you don't mug the guy the "contact" is "incidental." He kept saying,
"He could have called that, but instead he called 'play on!'"

Never attribute to malice what can satisfactorily be explained away by
stupidity.
