Former AFL umpire Darren Goldspink has given his opinion on the dramatic finish in Adelaide, which saw Essendon win by three points.

It was a controversial finish with Bombers ruckman Sam Draper diving on the ball in the final seconds, with Adelaide players pleading for a holding the ball free kick.

“If he had his time again, he probably might not dive on the ground after the game trying to incite a riot at Adelaide Oval,” Goldspink said.
