Are you seriously saying you haven't seen players in this situation pointing to the opposition player and checking with the umpire as to who the ball needs to go to before they throw it back? It happens many, many times in every single game and has for about 30 years. And never once has a 50m penalty been paid when it is done reasonably.
Seriously, 'but I didn't know who it was' is about the lamest rationale possible. If only there was someone close by to ask.........
When you drill down through enough umpiring discussions you quickly realise the stance of the over the top critics is essentially I want every decision to benefit Richmond, otherwise it is wrong.
