That sort of thing is a 50m penalty every day of the week. How many times do you see players do the exact same thing in other games, complain they didn't hear the whistle, yet 50m penalty is paid anyway. Here, they decide not to pay it at their own discretion because either

 

a) This is the rule that has come under a different interpretation for the week.

b) It was the 4th qtr, game was close, can't pay that one, it will result in a goal.

c) Swallowed the whistle

d) The umpire has Burgoyne in his DT and doesn't want the -3

e) All of the above.
