I spoke to a few people about this issue on the weekend as i thought it was very noticeable during our match.
Why are umpires, saying "move it on" and "play on.play on" only 2 seconds after a player takes a legitimate mark around the ground????
It stuffed us up on numerous times on Friday night and didnt allow us to play the game on our terms as we did the previous four weeks and slow the game down...
We would take a mark in defensvie 50, move back a couple of steps and then the umpire would say move it and play on and we would have to kick it right away, straight to there set up.
I hope it wasnt a deliberate instructions from the umpires for our game...the weeks before we were succesfull taking a good 5 or six seconds and waiting and choosing the right option with a 30m lead up pass or 50 m kick around the boundary.
I wont rant on about the Rance mark/throwing the ball back to hard!
