Is everyone else getting sick of the fact that Umpires dont pay Incorrect disposal anymore.  If players are tackled they simply drop the the ball and its play on.  There is no reward for good tackles, as all they have to do is throw/drop the ball and they wont be penalized.

Is it just me who it frustrates?

If they're tackled and they haven't been given prior opportunity to dispose of the footy, they're allowed to do anything as long as it's part of an attempt to make a correct disposal. I don't remember a time when this wasn't the case?

Drives me nute too mate.

See a player like try and break a tackle, fail, throw the ball down on his boot and miss it completely and no free. Happens ALL the time.
