A controversial free kick paid against Adelaide's Scott Thompson swung the momentum Hawthorn's way in the last quarter of their AAMI Stadium classic.
AFL umpires boss Jeff Gieschen has conceded the free kick against Adelaide midfielder Scott Thompson against Hawthorn was an 'error'.
UMPIRES' boss Jeff Gieschen conceded an umpire had made an error by awarding a free kick against Adelaide's Scott Thompson in a marking contest during a crucial stage of Saturday's game against Hawthorn.
Thompson marked the ball and would have had shot for goal from close range in the last quarter, but umpire Ray Chamberlain ruled he had made illegal contract with Hawk David Hale. Gieschen said Thompson should not have been penalised.

He said you had to ask whether Thompson pushed Hale in the back or pushed him out of the contest.
If you don't mind, umpire!
"For it to be a push out, there needs to be a degree of force, and there needs to be a straightening of the arm, and we can see a visible push out," Gieschen said.
"But in this case, no it wasn't hands in the back, and it wasn't a push out in the marking contest."
Gieschen said there was a little bit of incidental contact on the shoulder.
Gieschen phoned Adelaide coach Brenton Sanderson yesterday to apologise.
And he suggested that some clubs take another look at the instructional DVD released by the umpires' department that gives examples of free kicks.
Gieschen was surprised some players had admitted they were not aware they weren't allowed to push opponents in the side or chest in a marking contest.
"It's been around for 10 years on DVDs where we've explained it to clubs so that surprises me a little bit," Gieschen told the AFL website.
"It may be time that some of the clubs went back and revisited the DVD and showed it to their players just as a reinforcement."
Gieschen seemed miffed after Brisbane Lions midfielder Tom Rockliff said on radio it was the first he'd heard that pushing in the side wasn't allowed.
"That's the first time I've ever heard that and, honestly, I'm not one to make up stuff or lie," Rockliff told SEN radio.
"That's the most bizarre thing I've ever heard."
