Hocking said it was in play.The game was dead when Harry McKay hit Vlaustin
Anyone know if the incident is even being looked at?
BigV should look where he is going.First Dangerfield, now McKay.
Did Vlastuin *smile* in the MRO’s cornflakes?
Thanks. Will try and look it up later.Just checked, it was like 4 minutes in. 16 minutes or so on the countdown clock. They showed a replay of it on Fox in the "goal break".
Winners are grinners so we can laugh about it I guess, but it was an appalling decision by the umps.Hocking said it was in play.
But he also said if a Richmond player did it, it would've been sent to the tribunal.
What did you really expect?Winners are grinners so we can laugh about it I guess, but it was an appalling decision by the umps.
The AFL are as weak as *smile*.Entirely the umpire's fault that the resulting melee happened.
I don't blame our players retaliating one bit for a cheap shot that had no consequence.
Extremely poor officiating.
Unfortunately there is no camera angle from the southern stand side ,if there was ,there would be no doubt McKay was guilty.
Happened right in front of where we were sitting
He made no attempt to mark or spoil
Complete DOG ACT
Exactly,I was in the Southern Stand too, the reaction from the crowd said it all.
If it was Petracca LYON would want his head on a platterGary Lyon thought it was good play.
There is NO doubt he is guilty. It wasn’t in play. The umpire blew his whistle earlier. The crowd might not have heard it but the players and other umpire most certainly did.Unfortunately there is no camera angle from the southern stand side ,if there was ,there would be no doubt McKay was guilty.

So play has stopped about 2-3 seconds earlier where the ball is kicked as the whistle is blown. Everyone has stopped. The only person moving with intent is McKay, the rest are jogging. Vlastuin definitely isn't expecting any contact. McKay jumps and makes high contact well after the whistle. Given Vlastuin's head injury during the GF everyone holds their breath as drops to the canvas. Umps do nothing. Balta and a few more rush in but luckily Vlas is on his feet.So in Q1? Can anyone post footage? I'm struggling to remember. Don't think C7 did any follow-up footage. What a surprise!
No doubt General, and IDGAF. He left the field of play AND made high contact AND the ball was dead. Umps should have been all over it.I don't think there was anything in this at all. It certainly wasn't intentional.
I think McKay is a real promising key forward. But he's as dumb as a box of hammers. He would have the brain power to try line someone up like that. His brain works so slow, I saw him holding the ball about to kick it and thought "*smile*, the smoke from the fireworks has lingered three quarters".
Then I realised it was coming from McKay's ears.
