Second yellow...but for what?

What do we think? Shirt up to the head? The jump into the air and collision during the celebration? Maybe unsporting behaviour?

I'm going with the shirt.

Definitely Shirt, the 4th Official watched the celebration very closely so probably alerted the referee to that

 

[Anubis]

Shirt.

Geez if the shirt that's harsh though. Shirt was up for what, all of a quarter of a second?

Also... Hahaha. Nothing like a back slam after a celebration.

But of a shame to send her off. Manager has done his level best to keep everyone behaved and I'm not sure you'd really say that the shirt was pulled over her head - perhaps in front of her head?
Not sure I'd be pulling the book out there.

Cracking finish. If the 2nd yellow was for shirt, it's unbelievably harsh. Is there a separate LOTG for ladies footy with "bra flash" specifically outlawed?

It isn't technically wrong as she did cover her head with her shirt, albeit for a fraction of a second. I think the 4th official has probably been a bit busy there and I very much doubt they'd have been criticised by any observer for not cautioning.
