the AFL game, left the ball on the ground instead of returning it to the Fremantle player. This was deemed to be an untimely lapse in concentration by the St Kilda player and almost certainly affected the result of the game. In Round 7, 2022, a 50-metre penalty was awarded against 's Kate Shierlaw for an off-the-ball incident that was initially not picked up by the television commentators, who believed that it went against Bianca Jakobsson for knocking the ball out of player Katherine Smith's hands after she had taken a mark outside the Giants' 50-metre forward arc with ten seconds remaining in the match. The penalty brought Smith to within less than 20 metres from goal, and she would kick the match-winning goal, becoming the first player in AFL Women's history to kick a goal after the siren as a result of the 50-metre penalty. It gave her side a two-point win. In an article described as "AFLW madness", Fox Sports commented "It was reminiscent of Jim Stynes running over the mark and giving away a 15-metre penalty in the 1987 preliminary final that allowed Hawthorn’s Gary Buckenera to kick the winner and beat Melbourne - if not quite with the same stakes."
