AFL makes call on experienced umpire after controversial Hawks-Blues decision
The AFL has made a call on umpire Matt Stevic after a controversial decision in the Hawks' win over the Blues
VETERAN field umpire Matt Stevic has been selected to officiate in round 19.
Stevic made a mistake when he awarded a 50m penalty against Carlton midfielder Adam Cerra on Saturday night after appearing to call play on.
Hawthorn forward Jack Ginnivan went from a tough shot outside 50 in the wet to a shot in the goalsquare in the first quarter, which he converted in the 64-point win at the MCG.
Stevic has come under scrutiny since then, but is one of the League's most experienced umpires and will umpire this weekend.

Is Hardwick serious? Because if what he says is right, his club is not
Decorated field umpire Matt Stevic made a mistake when he awarded a 50-metre penalty to Jack Ginnivan after calling “play on” on Saturday night at the MCG.
With more than 500 games’ experience and 12 grand finals, he can be forgiven for the howler. It’s a mistake, rather than the catalyst for a royal commission.
Everyone is sick of talking about officiating – but the issues can’t be ignored.
There have been too many rules changed on the run by a reactive administration this season.
The stand rule, the taunting rule, the lasso rule and the ARC have all been re-interpreted by head office mid-season and the umpires on the shop floor are the ones who have to deal with the fallout – and confusion – that has occurred since.
