Player (who happens to be a defender) calls an attacking mark on the 21 slightly on the angle, not fancying the kick goes down holding his hamstring. Referee proceeds to let their free taker who was about 40 yards away and not the closest player to take the mark instead, and he scores his 9th placed ball of the day.
Injured player leaves the field for treatment, comes back on and then sprints down the pitch (clearly hamstring has miraculously recovered) to his own half and finishes the game. Is this within the rules or did the ref get it wrong?
