Ouch :'(
Wouldn't have thought he'd have come back on if that was the injury!
I thought he came down awkwardly (?? pushed or blocked) from a marking contest. Looked like he landed on Levi's knee. Levi was already on the ground on his back with knee bent.
Think one of our boys suffered that injury a couple of yes ago. Iirc he was out for a couple of weeks.

Saw the vision on Fox.
Carlisle is on the ground and Murphy's just given him a serve while he's running past.
Hardly anything to get worked up about. The shit stains just went after him because he was carving them up and he's skipper.
Don't forget this mobs treatment of an injured Ed Curnow. For Murph to have been even close to that he'd have had to kick Carlisle in the nuts while he was down.
Pity we lost.

I try to avoid blaming the umpires because generally they get things right and you are left with 50/50 decisions for both teams right across the game...
But the thing that really bothers me, and it's not exclusive to today's game, is when a game has been an arm wrestle for the entire match - goal for goal - and then, an umpire pulls out a 50 metre penalty on a fatigued 18 year old kid to move the ball to within scoring range with five minutes remaining in the game. The resulting goal places the game in a position where the competition has ended due to a score that has been manufactured rather than played for.
This isolated act impacted the result of the match in a completely unfair way that places game's integrity into question.
The game is not resolved by two teams playing on a level field. It gets decided on the whim of an official who gets a rush of blood and wants to be involved in the drama of the game.
It killed what was an intriguing contest between two very even teams...although one team with a six point bonus when they needed it most.

No doubt joel Selwood and Luke Hodge would get away with giving the ball back slow.

this is AFL football, not school boy stuff.
An 18 year-old, fatigued kid is just one of 44 players out there and doesn't deserve any special treatment.

Just painting a picture, Sandy, but my point is about umpires deciding the final game result...

Ump was feeling the pressure. Simmo was giving him lip, for what was a correct call by the ump, and being so close to the crowd he was getting a massive bake as well. Williamson tries to be a bit cute and the ump pulls the trigger.
Frankly , I get the absolute shits with players whinging about decsions the know are correct. Sheedy started that shit as a tactic to get umps to second guess themselves and award less kicks against and more kicks for the Bombers.
Every time a player opens his gob it should be 50m and then all this melodrama would stop with a month and the game would flow much better.

Agreed. I reckon players mouthing off at umpires is on the rise this season...a really bad look
