Blue kicks a penalty kick which misses the posts and is heading towards the red defender who is standing in his own in-goal area.
Red defender ( shouts "MARK!" ) and tries to catch the ball but it rebounds of his chest and arms and bounces up into the air and forward about 1 metre. He successfully regathers the ball before it hits the ground. Basically its a fumbled catch but the ball has never touched the ground nor another player. He didnt intentionally knock the ball forward. He's just not that good at catching.
Do you award the mark ?
Has there been a law-wording change around this area recently ?
