umpire goes down from contact with player. Dow was tangling with Brisbane’s Josh Dunkley at the stoppage and found himself in Howorth’s path when Dunkley made a break away from his opponent. Dunkley’s teammate Lachie Neale came across to block Dow, making contact with the umpire inevitable. An unsuspecting Howorth went straight down and took some time to get back up.
