This is the ugly truth of the matter, right here.
Go back and watch Ben Brown's career, and the amount of illegal holds/blocks/infringements that go un-called on him is astounding.
(Yes, I know "every" key-forward feels this way at times, but Brown copped it worse than any of them).
Then around early 2018 he started 'exaggerating' the illegal contacts a bit, and he finally started getting some justice.
It sucks, but as Tas said it's just one symptom of the overall much bigger issue that is the unacceptable standard of professional umpiring within the AFL.
Exactly - I've still seen Brown miss x100 more frees than he's got.
