Miserable day. Miserable result. Made more miserable by another anti-Carlton rule being added to the statute books:
Rule 124.2.1:
If a Carlton players looks like they have inadvertently been afforded an advantage through good luck or happenstance (e.g. all opposition players stop from the impression that the ball is no longer in play), the nearest field umpire is to blow the whistle, stop play, and recall the ball for a bounce close to the position whereby the said Carlton player took possession (note Rule 124.2.1a below).
Rule 124.2.1a: This rule does not apply to any team other than the Carlton Football Club.
