AFL: The Herald Sun's Jon Ralph reports on the AFL's reaction to a host of controversial umpiring decisions across the weekend.
St Kilda coach Ross Lyon has declared the AFL has “gone too far” in weekly clarification of umpiring mistakes and every club, player and coach should “accept it and move on” regardless of the impact on outcomes.
Watch every game of every round this Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE with no ad-breaks during play on Kayo. New to Kayo?It was the second time this season the AFL admitted the umpires had made a mistake that could have turned the match after conceding a non-call against Essendon ruckman Sam Draper should have resulted in a free kick in front of goal to Adelaide in a match the Crows lost by three points.
“I don’t like that the AFL comes out and clarifies it. I’ve been to big finals and moved on. I just think, why is one free kick more important than another? In the aftermath of the loss, Gold Coast coach Damien Hardwick was fuming with the free kick, labelling it “unwarranted”.
