Looks like the scump hurt Ablett's calf.

Club should fine him for missing McLaren

I don't think anyone would ever miss McLaren.

Saw them both on the ground., but didn't see the contact. We were with friends who hadn't been to the footy before, their comment was "Shouldn't it be the umpires responsibility to get out of the way of the players?" It's pretty hard to argue with that.

I didn't really see it. I just hope the umpire was Scott McLaren.

Avon calling.

Umpires - the most protected species of them all.

Ablett's was pretty fierce, he was a bit dazed for a while after the bump.

Looking for the media beat up on this one.

I swore I saw another player on TV make contact with an umpire in another game, but I guess nothing ended up with that I suppose.

Sydney's Luke Ablett has accepted a $1950 sanction for making negligent contact with umpire Michael Avon during the third quarter of the match between Sydney and North Melbourne at Docklands on Sunday.
