From what I heard they said he did have prior but aslong as you “attempt” to dispose of it then it’s play on.So apparently AFL clarified with Scott that the Clarke, Draper and Menzie decisions were mistakes. But Ridley and Stewart ones were ticked off.
I thought the Ridley one was Ok - it was a perfect tackle and sometimes that has to be rewarded. He had an arm free but the tackle was too good and he couldn’t dispose.
Apparently Stewart had no prior so incorrect disposal not a factor. (1) He absolutely did have prior and (2) since when does not having prior mean you can just drop the footy in a tackle and not get penalised? A bewildering explanation.
