Re: Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 6: Carlton vs. Hawthorn

Careful Micky, if you play whistleblower, the club will get fined....free kick Hawthorn.
Among the litany of questionable decisions the one that got me was SPS getting nailed with the forearm - it was a clear, and absolutely no discussion required report and 50 metre penalty..... crickets. That umpire should have a case to answer for, if they don't know the %$^^&ing rules they should expect to be dropped and bloody well made to learn them.
At the very least I'd expect a please explain from the club to the AFL to clarify the situation on this one.
I just skimmed through the rules very quickly, I dont believe a 50m penalty automatically applies when a report is made. I'll stand corrected if I missed it.
