MELBOURNE'S Angus Brayshaw "couldn't believe it" when a controversial free kick was paid against him in last Saturday night's two-point loss to Geelong at GMHBA Stadium.
The midfielder expressed his frustration at the ruck nomination rule on this week's edition of AFL Exchange.
CATS WIN A THRILLER Full match coverage and stats
Brayshaw was penalised for holding opponent Patrick Dangerfield out of the ruck contest, having not realised the Geelong superstar had nominated himself for a ruck contest inside Brayshaw's defensive 50.
"Are we playing under-10s football?" Brayshaw said.
"Any reasonable person watching the game would be thinking: 'How on earth has that been paid?'
"I'm not having a go at the umpire, I just don't understand the rule as a whole."
DEES WANT ANSWERS How was Angus meant to know, Goodwin asks
