One word..... fooked!
The AFL are more interested in justifying incompetence than actually trying to adjudicate the game correctly.
I wonder if someone who lost a bet on the Essendon game could sue them for engineering results?
They clearly stated the Rampe action is a free kick under the rule and chose not to pay it as it was practical. They have pretty much admitted to engineering the result of a game because of practicality and not adhering to their own rules.
