When an afl player lines up to shoot for goal after he's taken a 'catch' (let's be honest, that's what the queens english tells us it should be called) are their 13 players who would do anything to stop the player scoring?
The fact it's a free shot at goal after a 'catch' completely negates ur argument re the wide scoring zone in rl my friend.
Now please , try again
Crikey! Now I understand your problem King. You harbour deep visceral yearnings to return to the home country. And you want to drag the rest of us with you.
Since when have Aussies spoken the Queen's English?
An early editor of the Sydney Gazette in the 1820s, Horatio Wills (now, there's a larrikin you should get to know) , acknowledged that Australian English was diverging from what you call the queens English, and that was only three decades after European settlers arrived.
Oh, and it was NSW-born Tom, Horatio Will's son, who called called it a 'mark'. He was never one to slavishly follow the English.
Alrighty then, now that that feather is rustled can you get to answering my main point yA stoopid galah.
There's no 'free try for missing in rl'.
