The AFL has conceded a crucial late umpiring decision in St Kilda’s thrilling win over Gold Coast was a mistake. With the Suns leading by three points at Marvel Stadium, young Suns defender Mac Andrew was penalised for an off-the-ball hold on Saints spearhead Max King as the pair jostled close to goal.
Controversial free kick proves crucial. With less than three minutes to go, much to Andrew’s dismay, King converted from point-blank range and St Kilda held on for a 7.9 to 7.6 win in front of 17,992 fans on Saturday night. “He’s doing it to me! Oh my god. It’s gotta go both ways!” Andrew told the umpire. Luke Darcy in commentary noted the free kick was paid “about 100 metres” off the ball.
