With just 57 seconds to play, Thilthorpe knocked the ball out of bounds to force a boundary throw-in.<\/p>\n

You cannot do that Riley,\u201d play-by-play caller Anthony Hudson said.<\/p>\n \u201cHe toed it away!\u201d<\/p>\n Hall of Fame legend Jason Dunstall immediately suggested it should\u2019ve been a free kick to Collingwood.<\/p>\n \u201cHow he (Thilthorpe) gets away with this \u2026 I don\u2019t know how all the umpires miss this. This is time-wasting,\u201d Dunstall told Fox Footy.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s punched it out of bounds to start with, then he\u2019s looking at it and toes it off the ground. It\u2019s not by accident. There are umpires all around him and they don\u2019t pay it.\u201d<\/p>\n Melbourne champion Garry Lyon added: \u201cI think it\u2019s the non-free of the year.<\/p>\n \u201cNow whether he\u2019s trying to kick it up to himself or not is irrelevant, you\u2019ve kicked the ball away at a critical time of the match.\u201d<\/p>\n Riley Thilthorpe of the Crows.

He\u2019s been a pro from day one.<\/p>\n \u201cHe just puts his body on the line, gets himself in line with the footy and just goes at it. Late, that was a massive mark and to be able to finish it off was important for us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fox Footy commentators Garry Lyon and Jason Dunstall could hardly believe their eyes.
