The punishment? A set shot from close range with barely any angle for Fremantle ruckman Sean Darcy, who saluted to reduce the Dockers’ deficit to just 14 points as they continued to mount a late surge at Optus Stadium. After Darcy slotted his charity prize, subsequent majors to Hayden Young and Alex Pearce — and a Jeremy Sharp behind — tied the scores by the time the final siren sounded.
“In 2022, the AFL said that they were worried their game analysis team was seeing too many players who were wasting time,” Ralph told Fox Footy on Friday evening. “No one believed that Sullivan was wasting time there. No one has seen this decision been paid in so long. By the strictest interpretation it’s correct, there has to be some level of common sense or a shade of grey.”Lewis cited umpire Nicholls’ pedigree before claiming the veteran adjudicator would be retrospectively “disappointed” with his decision to penalise Sullivan.
