Harris pinned one of Bates' arms as they fell to the ground, though the Lion's head hit a teammate's leg rather than the ground.

"You know those coaches who always say they didn't see it, but you know that they did," Carlton coach Daniel Harford said.

"I was absolutely a long way away and had so many bodies in the way, I was just dirty we gave away a free kick because we had good field position.
