Clear as day.

If you have prior opportunity, then you must dispose of it legally. If you have no prior opportinity, all you have to do is con the ump into believing you made a genuine attempt

The definition of prior opportunity isn't well inderstood among punters either, IMV. There's fend offs, head ducks and having taken a mark or free but also it's enoigh to have been "balanced and steady" and in possession. Nothing about timing or how many steps or spins in a tackle. (Page 15 of the book for those reading along at home)

So yeah... if you take possession of the ball as you are falling to ground under a tackle then yes, you could legally throw it, as long as you waved enough of a fist at it as well. What players are more likely to do though is have ot "jarred free" in the tackle (rule 18.6.3.b)

    - Depends if you've had prior opportunity or not. -- Pendlebury, 15:43 30/03/25 Sun
      - I think it's stupid way to interpret the original rule. Like giving kids awards for trying. (NT) -- Rodda83, 11:23 31/03/25 Mon
        It wasn't an interpretation. It was a rule change -- Geek, 13:48 31/03/25 Mon
        Thanks Geek. That's a good explanation of it. Una2are they changed it like so. -- Rodda83, 13:01 02/04/25 Wed
yeah this is why 'team prior' has always appealed to me -- sam-e, 22:40 29/03/25 Sat
