Preview:
AFL fans declared their confusion after Brisbane star Harris Andrews was called for a 50m penalty for putting his “arms out” in his 98-91 Easter Thursday win over Collingwood.
As part of the league’s crackdown on umpire misconduct, whistleblowers have been empowered to impose penalties against players who question their decisions.
But when most expected to see a penalty for abusive language, umpire Andrew Stephens pointed to Andrews by pointing it out.
Prediction:
There were no late changes for both sides – Nakia Cockatoo (Brisbane Lions) and John Noble (Collingwood) were named as medical options.
Pies captain Scott Pendlebury matched Lachey Neale on the opening bounce and took the responsibility of the Brownlow medalist at stoppage. Collingwood was not rewarded for bowling Lions defender Marcus Adams, and some of the Lions’ best coast-to-coast games ended in a Jarrid Lyons goal.
Nathan Kruger kicked Pease’s second goal, but it was quickly matched by Neale, who put through a quick snap in his 200th game, followed by a thumping set shot from outside 50 by Joe Denier. The eight-goal first quarter was somewhat soured by a peculiar mindfulness of Darcy Gardiner, who later charged Josh Dikos’s back after taking a mark.
