At first glance, it appeared Butler had caught Blakey cold and the latter would be penalised for holding the ball.Blakey’s teammate, Isaac Heeney, immediately appealed for a ‘dangerous tackle’ free kick and the umpire agreed.Cue the eruption from AFL fans on social media.
“Terrible decision which probably cost the Saints a goal in a close game,” Le Grand said on decision.“That is NOT a dangerous tackle by Butler on Blakey. If you can’t do that, you quite literally, cannot tackle at all,” Connolly fumed. He said the reason he decided to sub out Blakey was due to the time he had to sit out while going through the HIA protocol , combined with the fact that Blakey had carried a toe injury into the match.
Now, however, the Saints are sweating on the AFL’s match review of the tackle and the possibility that Butler will be suspended.
