Is ducking to draw the free a blight on the game

Apparently, according to commentators, it is courageous for Selwood to lift his arms and force a high tackle, or to lower his centre of gravity with the intention of getting a free kick.
It is no different than what soccer players do, and we all laugh at soccer players staging.

They changed the rules to crack down on the shrugging/ducking/arm lifting.....umps just not paying it
Tackle lower.

Thing is that players actually place their arms above his shoulder.
Maybe they should improve their tackling?

Surely creating this thread can't be top of mind for you right now. Surely.

Come back to me when 10% of Sloanes career touches come from free kicks.

I'm far from Selwood's biggest fan, I've made a thread about his BS before.
This thread is just completely strange though. If my team was killing the opposition in a prelim the last thing I'd be thinking about is Selwood's ducking.
Remiscent of the crowd on TV carrying on despite being up big.
This is not right.
If you tackle lower it just allows the player to easily release a handball.
You are taught to pin the arms, thus preventing the player from getting a handball away.

Hilarious that he sooks when he gives a free kick away for a high tackle, despite being looked after more than anyone else who's ever played the game

Yeh and risk a suspension, great advice, how haven't you been recruited by a club for these ground-breaking tactics.
If he contributes to it its not reckless.

I was just thinking, really hoping the Crows win it all from here, I have alot of respect for that club.
Some of their fans are pathetic though.
I like being proven right.

The tackler aims at the bicep, then the player (notorious ducker) angles his frame instead of extending upright after gathering possession into the tackling opponent. Nor does he ever attempt to avoid the tackler
If Sloane (or anyone else at other times) tried to tackle him any lower he'd jump and get a free for 'legged'. Compare the height of his head with the fence here:
The King!

Doesnt need to do it, he is a great player, but hard to respect a clear cheating prick
