Collingwood<\/a> midfielder and 2018 Brownlow Medallist Tom Mitchell<\/a> has attracted unwanted attention after taking a dive during the Pies' seven-point qualifying final win over the Demons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mitchell flopped to the ground during a tussle in the opening quarter which was largely passed over by commentators.<\/p>\n

Field umpire Matt Stevic\ufeff disregarded Mitchell's appeal for a free kick to which Petracca grinned and laughed about.<\/p>\n

The pair then \ufefftraded barbs as they jumper-punched before the ball was thrown back into play.<\/p>\n

"He didn't really do much to Mitchell at all," Brian Taylor said in commentary for Channel 7.<\/p>\n

"Mitchell voluntarily sat on the ground, I would describe it as. Good umpiring. Nothing more than a whistle."<\/p>\n

The incident was minor compared to the dramatic scenes that unfolded later in the term as Brayden Maynard accidentally knocked out Angus Brayshaw<\/a> while trying to smother a kick.<\/p>\n

As \ufeffMaynard faces a nervous wait for match review officer Michael Christian's decision, Mitchell will also have to keep an eye out for a possible charge and sanction for staging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
