I reckon Walker (& the umpire for that matter) got a bit caught up in the moment.
It was at a crucial stage, near goal, the crowd was hyped & excitement levels were high, the Richmond bloke was a bit cheeky trying break tackles and Taylor just wanted to put him on his arse.
Unfortunately he got it a bit wrong and dumped the Richmond bloke the wrong way up.
You just cant do that anymore.
The umpire seemed to be a bit swept up in the moment too. He payed HTB (which it was .... apart from the dangerous dump at the end of it) and then had to try & stop a fight when the Richmond bloke fired up.
Me & my son agreed on the spot that it would go to the tribunal.
After all the controversy, IMO I reckon the right things happened.
Free kick, goal, Walker got games. Because of his record he got 3 instead of 2. Seems about right.
After seeing McKernan dominate against the bays on Sunday, I reckon he or Jenkins could slot straight in and get some crucial game time before finals.
Incorrect. Walker missed the shot on goal.
