‘No common sense’: Mitchell’s swipe at umpire call that cost ‘the Wizard’ a goal in Hawks’ big win
Hawthorn coach Sam Mitchell has hit out at an umpiring call that robbed forward Nick Watson of a half-time goal on a night the Marvel Stadium surface came under fire for being too slippery under a closed roof.
Mitchell said he was glad Watson’s overturned goal did not affect his side’s 52-point victory – 18.11 (119) to 9.13 (67) – but said the club would be going to the AFL looking for an explanation.
Watson booted a goal after the half-time siren from the right forward pocket, but the umpires ruled he had run off his line – disallowing the score.
“There’s no common sense about that,” Mitchell said. “I would hope that we get an answer from the AFL, I’m sure we will.”

With Watson taking his set shot after the half time siren, umpire Brent Wallace determined that the Hawk was off his line – and therefore the goal he kicked didn’t count.
