AFL Rd 3 2023 Post Game Prognostications Giants vs Carlton

[Lods]

If you watch The Round So Far on the AFL website, from about the 5 min mark, you can see a replay of the umpire explaining to Whitfield why the free was paid : Coniglio puts his arms out and says "how is that not a free kick ?". If that's the extent of it, then it's a poor decision IMO.

There is a suggestion (I first heard it on the after match commentary) that there was also some swearing involved.
