Umpires have money on the Hawks. Two weeks in a row they have won the game for them. Watch the media say sweet FA.

Smith should've been pinged for holding the ball in the dying seconds. He took possession of the ball and made absolutely no attempt to get rid of it and he had prior opportunity. And I'm saying that as a person who didn't care who won.

Ball was jarred free, play on. This happens all the time all over the ground.

Watch it again. He takes possession and does the whole I'm trying to handball it and can't get it out thing BEFORE he's tackled. Then he's tackled and it spills out.
Faking a handball would be the very definition of prior opportunity

He grabs the ball, less than a second later he is tackled and a second after that, the ball is knocked free.

It was a very quick passage of play but the fact that Smith had enough time to fake a handball attempt suggests he had prior opportunity and means that he should have been pinged for holding the ball as a result.
