Mark from a penalty

[Joe@trfc]

I was wondering if the defending team can call a Mark if the attacking teams kick was from a penalty.

[Phil E]

The only time you can't call a mark is from a kick off (start of first and second half) or from a restart after a score.

So you CAN call a Mark from a Penalty Kick, Free Kick, or a 22 Drop Out.

As Phil says....

I have had this scenario...I awarded the mark to the usual howls from the stand.

Wasn't a bit sure if it was a correct call and checked it out after the game.

[Joe@trfc]

Thanks guys, I just wanted to be sure!

I have had it as well.
It's one of those things that happen rarely and when they do you pause and consult your inner Law Book :-)

A variation on Phil's wording, but I find the easiest way to remember it is

You can call a Mark from ANY opponents kick apart from a Kick Off or a re-start at the centre.

You'd be surprised how many coaches, players etc don't know this.

"If they have to kick. A mark you cannot pick."

[Dickie E]

"If they have to kick. A mark you cannot pick."

not altogether useful:

So you CAN call a Mark from a Penalty Kick, Free Kick, or a 22 Drop Out.

You dont have to kick PKs etc you can tap and and pass etc. You have to kick the others at least 10 metres. Sorry I thought the inference was there. It made it clear to me when I was told it.

So a mark can be awarded/called from a attempted drop goal that goes short...? What about an attempt DG that bounces off posts and is caught cleanly by non kicking team?
