More evidence of Collingwood's special treatment.
--------------------------------
Adelaide captain Jordan Dawson should have been awarded a free kick in the dying seconds of the Crows' two-point loss to Collingwood, the AFL has conceded.
Controversy erupted in the desperate final moments, with Dawson denied a set shot to win the game after high contact from Collingwood's Jamie Elliott.
Crows ruckman Reilly O'Brien had driven the ball inside 50, where it was gathered by Dawson, who was immediately crashed into by Elliott.
The League's head of umpiring, Dan Richardson, said in a statement on Monday afternoon that the call had been missed by the field umpires, who had a "restricted view of the contest".
