Carlton Blues midfielder Adam Cerra headed to the AFL Tribunal after again making contact with an umpire
“The correspondence comes out of AFL, so the first thing we do is to make sure that this is closed.
“It was something we all pay attention to in the industry.
“Unfortunately, Mids probably those who will put his burden, so we have to be careful there.”
Carlton defender Lachie Cowan, a blue team -mate trying to make a lateral stroke of the referee Andrew Hefffernan after contact with everything was clearly given.
Im If you interrupt the passage of the game, I would think it was a common sense to make it a ball, ”Voss said from the Cowan.
“It didn’t cost the game, so we continue.
“But if there is a setting I would recommend, if you intervened in the direct line of the ball, I would think that the discreet thing to do was gather it.”
Essendon coach Brad Scott last week, the star of his star Ileri Nate Caddy accidentally stepped into his path with a referee (by chance O’gorman) after the collision. Scott, a former AFL football boss, said the league asked the league to direct the referees not to stop in the corridor, because the parties tried to move the ball. Like Cowan, Caddy also avoided sanctions.
Gold Coast star Matt Rowell said last week that the league would not change its stop position despite its harder line.
AFL is trying to change the player’s behavior and attitudes towards contact with referees in pause. As this is reported by Masthead last week, some clubs have concerns that the referees of the star midfield players use as a screen to break a label.
In the last two years, the collisions between players and referees come after a rise. 63 accusations were made for careless contact with a referee this year before the 17th round of the 17th round was realized in 56 and 2023 last year.
AFL Chief Andrew Dillon said at the beginning of this month after writing to the clubs in February and again in April, we did not see any change in behavior and in fact we did not see an increase in the theme of the referee. ”
“We have the obligation to provide the best working environment for everyone, including the referees, and there is a lot of preventive referee theme.”
