The two frees paid against Zac Williams for holding Elliott are a case in point. Collingwood defenders did exactly the same to our forwards several times later in the game and there wasn't a whistle to be heard.
Perhaps umpires wish to set the ground rules early in the game, possibly subconsciously, then relax their interpretation as the game progresses.
