Firstly let me state I am not trying to get anyone rubbed out...
There is great video of the incident here: http://www.afl.com.au/video/2014-07-31/freo-skipper-cops-a-whack
To me.. There are clearly two movements. One to bring the ball into the body.... The arm is then slung back faster and smacks pav. There is no sling which would cause the arm to accelerate so quickly back behind its natural resting spot.
I think it was the most well disguised deliberate whack I have seen.
