Geelong coach Chris Scott said it was “not ideal” that clubs were having to change the way they played during the middle of a season because of an AFL-directed tweak to the holding-the-ball-rule.
“I think most people would expect that there’s going to be an overreaction from the umpires, because it’s really hard to make an adjustment and get it exactly right,” Scott said. “So there’ll be lots and lots of examples that we can look at, over this round and the next round that we can get clarification on.”
They did so by winning the clearances 12-5, the centre clearances 6-1, the stoppage clearances 6-4 and the Cats led the third-quarter tackles 17 to 11. If the Tigers rest their three-time premiership star, he would be able to celebrate the milestone the following week in front of the Richmond faithful at the MCG against Hawthorn.Richmond coach Yze said the decision to play Martin would not be made on saving the 300th game for the MCG - a stage on which he has won a record three Norm Smith Medals.
