Sean Darcy nailed the following prepared shot from simply 15m out, decreasing the margin to 13 issues with six mins excess in what proved to be a abundance turning level.
McRae used to be left baffled through the verdict.
“I’m looking forward to what the AFL tell us about that, because I wasn’t aware that’s a free kick,” McRae stated.
“But maybe clearly it is because they don’t pay things that aren’t there.
“So taking a look ahead to peer what they are saying.
