"It's a borderline flop": Lewis slams Grimes free kick

2020-08-22T21:15+10:00

Four-time Hawthorn premiership player Jordan Lewis says Tiger Dylan Grimes would like to revisit the free kick he was awarded in the second quarter of tonight's clash with Essendon.

Bomber Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti kicked a goal but the umpire deemed Jake Stringer to have pushed Grimes out of the marking contest.

Lewis said on Fox Footy that there must be consistency around the ground on contentious free kicks.

“It’s a borderline flop," he said.

“I think if we’re going to be hard on forwards that play for free kicks, I think the same needs to be said for defenders who are trying to draw a free kick.

“For him to dive forward at least another couple of metres, after getting body contact, I think he’d like to have that moment again."
