Post Game Passion: AFL 2020 Rd 4: Carlton vs. the Drug Cheats

[deepbluesee]

I was just watching the Simmo highlights on the club website and it featured his tackle on Zaharakis in the last quarter.  I guess a ball up is a reasonable result for a very good tackle but what about the Essendon bloke that tackles Simmo.  Zaharakis still has the ball so surely that is a free kick to Simmo  :

I've always been critical of this tactic (most clubs do it) where a 3rd player comes in and 'tackles' the tackler. I agree that this act should be penalised.
