There was a similar incident in the same quarter with the same two players which also wasn't paid. Butler gave him a serve that time as well. I think it was a different umpire.

Re: The non holding the ball free
Interesting discussion on HTB.
What do peoples think about this one?
If we have it deep in our F50 why tackle, hold on then create a stoppage? Why not tackle to ground, release the tackle and force the defender to make a play. If the defender doesn't get rid of the footy in a second then tackle again and get the HTB.
I'd argue the percentages of a turnover is in the catch then release rather than a stoppage that is a defence outnumber and clearance to 60m out.
