controversial umpiring decision against Collingwood’s Lachie Sullivan for time wasting was penalised for handing the ball to teammate Nick Daicos instead of umpire Matthew Nicholls , who awarded Sean Darcy a free kick in front of goal.
It resulted in the second of Fremantle’s four late flurry of goals to even the scores at Optus Stadium, prompting debate from the footy world in the aftermath.

New to Kayo?, the AFL clarified the “free kick was officiated correctly,” while time wasting infringements have been penalised four times already this season.
The league said it cracked down on time wasting in 2022 and ahead of last year’s finals series, sending a warning to clubs after noticing a trend that allowed teammates to set up better. “Time wasting – We have also seen some recent examples where Players have not given the ball straight back to the Umpire when a stoppage is called. Players are reminded that if they are in possession of the ball and the Umpire calls for a ball up to either leave the ball on the ground, or give the ball directly to the Umpire ,” the AFL told clubs last year.
