With the constant debate regarding the dissent rule over the past week, would like the general opinion of fans in the poll.

What I mean by all dissent (option 1):
  • Harris Andrews 50m vs Collingwood
  • Mitchell/Gunston vs Geelong
  • McKenzie vs GWS - punished for telling the umpire the ball hit the ground

What I mean by verbal and/or physical intimidation (option 2):
  • Mitch Robinson throwing his mouthguard at the umpire
  • Hewett shouting at the umpire and trying to physically intimidate the umpire by walking towards the umpire in clear anger

NO NEED TO REPLY TO THREAD, THERE ARE ENOUGH THREADS REGARDING AND TALKING ABOUT UMPIRING AND DISSENT ALREADY. ONLY INTERESTED IN THE POLL RESULTS.
 
Frankly umpiring dissent should be encouraged, it's one of the greatest longstanding traditions of our game and one of the few things supporters from all clubs can rally around & enjoy together!
