You could argue the initial free kick was incorrect but the facts are once that whistle goes that's it. Swearing and carrying on won't change anything. It's one of the first things you are taught as a junior. 

It wasn't given in the back half, I don't think it matters where abouts on the ground but if you want to argue that, it's even more critical that you don't turn a 65m kick into a 15m one. I think I recall that even on the goal line he refused to shut up.

And as for Ablett being a protected species, he was given holding the ball at least 3 times that I can remember. He is a champion of the game and arguably the best ever. Opposition coaches would have entire filing cabinets dedicated to Ablett, they would know what he is going to do before he decides himself and he still does as he pleases. 

 

I apologize @McQueen I owe you a beer. The three of them are as bad as each other. The umpires buy into this whole Dangerously crap. 

Makes me sick. I hope Oliver Gawn and co gob off at the umpires forever just so we aren't known as teachers pets

Haha.

All good, Pal.

Im just happy the Hawks prevailed in the end.

Lewis has been charged with misconduct against Mathieson and can accept a $1500 fine. I don't remember the incident so can't comment but these fines have replaced suspensions. Was it bad enough to have been suspended last year?  Whatever it was that's two games so far this season and two indiscretions. Following on from being suspended early last season.

WTF!!  Here's a player thrown an extra two to three years purely on the basis of the on field LEADERSHIP he's going to bring to the Club. And this is how he repays the Club. Wake up mate. Hope he's been told to go away and have a big hard think about himself.

Who cares if he is fined?

Happy for him to be smashing someone like Mathieson
