This masthead understands Dockers players had been irate that key forward Jy Amiss had not received free kicks across the game while Carlton forwards had been rewarded in marking contests.
Clark allowed Cottrell to mark after George Hewett’s kick was sent forward, with the AFL on Sunday admitting their umpires missed the ball hitting James Aish’s forearm.
It was after that goal that Clark has told friends he uttered the expression “You f***ing idiot, Jordan”.
The umpire Alex Whetton immediately paid a free kick for dissent and the Blues extended their margin in a game that put them 4-0 for the season.
The league on Sunday admitted its umpires had missed the touched kick that landed in Cottrell’s lap.
Clark had been in constant chatter with the umpires all day and so it is understandable they believed he was again chirping over their decision-making.
