I'm a bit confused by the force number 17 put on the thrower after the switch. Her teammates are positioned to take away the side line in a force flick, yet she goes flat and leaves the opposite side of the field open. It was a great switch after the layout but a little mishap on the forcing I think. Probably wouldn't have mattered since the throw was over the top and likely would have gotten off even with a forcing side line mark, but maybe would have made the look a bit harder.

I believe that was just their team defensive look. Force middle flat mark

I don't think it's correct to prioritize "punishing" missed layouts. Like you said - it's hard to get turns at higher levels - so don't do the defense any favors by rushing a throw. If you make good choices you WILL eventually score, so there is very little incentive to take any risk at all (and conversely, the defense should ALWAYS gamble) and marks are generally ineffectual - good throwers find open throws. I think the instant switch before the final throw was really strong and smart and something many ultimate players struggle to do easily.

At 0:33 isnt that an offensive foul? Was it contested or accepted? If accepted, it should have been a turnover.

I assume it was treated as an indirect foul rather than a receiving foul since it took place before the disc was thrown.
