Did the ump just say 'no Richmond ruck' then a tiger went up to **** anyway with no penalty?

There was another one in the 3rd quarter. The ball was in the Tigers forward pocket, Grigg puts his hand up for the ruck contest but didn’t contest it, Bolton did. No free.

Ugh these protected zone frees. Up there with ruck nominations as an overly technical free which nobody asked for and which is payable for something which doesn’t affect the game whatsoever.
Watch us get absolutely reamed by that rule in a close game.

I hope the boys are taking notes from this game and learn from it.

Carlton have had three that I've seen, two of them were very questionable. One of them you could see the umpire wasn't going to pay it and then the Richmond player looked at the Carlton player, changed the angle of his run by about 5 degrees and was called. I wish they did that thing they used to do in the Advertiser some years ago when they listed whether goals came from marks, general play or frees.
I haven't yet seen Richmond get a goal from a protected area fifty, has anyone seen them get one yet?
