Thursday.

Brisbane’s Eric Hipwood has been referred directly to the Tribunal for a bizarre incident involving an opponent and an umpire.

Match Review Officer Michael Christian has sent Hipwood straight to the Tribunal after a perplexing chain of events in the Lions V Western Bulldogs at the Gabba on Thursday night.

The 24-year-old appeared to push Ryan Gardner during the third quarter of the round 16 game, with the Bulldogs defender then crashing into umpire Jacob Mollison.

Gardner and Mollison collided, and Hipwood was able to run inside 50 to take an easy mark before slotting a goal for the Lions.

Hipwood is not able to accept an early plea for the incident.

  1. I noticed a couple of the commentators were trying to downplay the Hipwood incident as a very minor fine inducing incident. I take a different view. It is a deliberate act that endangered the safety of an umpire. It had the exact effect that he wanted it to have. Umpires must be sancrosanct. 6 to 10 weeks.

  3. Eric Hipwood fined $2500 at tribunal.

    The AFL had pushed for a two-game ban, arguing he’d intentionally pushed Gardner into the path of the umpire.

    But Tribunal chairman Jeff Gleeson, who said the incident was “quite troubling” when viewed from certain angles, said Hipwood’s carelessness was not high.

    Gleeson said the behind-goals camera view showed Gardner had “deviated and all but stopped” as both players ran towards the Lions’ attacking 50m.

    He found while Hipwood breached his duty of care to the umpire, his action alone had not caused the incident.
