The old post match apology. Mitchell did exactly the same after he one of his kneeing incidents. The whistle had been blown and he continued on. I don't know if the ump called play on but he lined him up from a long way off. He could easily have tackled him against the post or through the points if he was to prevent him coming around to kick the goal. It is clearly a Hawthorn tactic to take opposition game players out of the action. Just happens too often not to be. I don't think he can get it down graded with an early plea given he served 4 weeks earlier this year. I still don't get why he didn't get cited for that sly clip to the nose of Grimes behind play against Richmond.
