It was interesting to hear umpires calling in to the ABC and applauding the decision. They all mentioned how difficult it is to attract and retain umpires in local and junior competitions because of the dissent and abuse. My son-in-law was umpiring his son's under 9 team and had to send a player off for dissent. Coniglio's behaviour was basically the same as the under 9 kid.
My son who has adhd got sent off in an auskick game last year because he complained about being tackled which isn't allowed. He was upset and ran out of the whole reserve, guess who had to chase him lol? Thanks umpire.
This year he's playing basketball, loves it. Football sux which is a shame as he is good.
