I work at ABC Regional as a Digital Producer. My most memorable match I have seen was in Round 5, 2003: Hawthorn vs Richmond at the MCG. The Tigers were down by 54 points, and came back to win by 20. It was an amazing game to see in one of my first games at the sacred ground.

Depends on how you look at it. I agree the shoulder was there, and a free kick could be paid. Thought the 50m penalty was harsh though considering the circumstance of not being able to pull away.
