A controversial non-free kick to Jamie Elliott rocked the last quarter of Brisbane’s 29-point preliminary final victory against Collingwood at the MCG on Saturday night .

With nine minutes and 40 seconds remaining in the match, Tim Membrey popped a short pass over to Elliott on his own out the back, roughly 15 metres out from goal, after the Magpies caught the Lions on the fast break from half back.

Brandon Starcevich, who Elliott took “one of the great finals marks” on in the opposite goal square during the third term, desperately sprinted back to make a contest, and appeared to infringe for front on contact despite his admirable effort.
