It happens at 3:06 in this clip. You can slow down the play back speed and count the steps. By my count it's about half a step before he gets tackled. It's a free because of the poor "one arm free interpretation", but there's no way he can get a disposal away.

So true on the chicken wingYep,
I take it back, it’s holding the ball. In my defence, I didn’t see the one arm being free which is the newish rule. Didn’t have prior in my opinion but the one arm takes away prior.
I do find amazing that the AFL’s own rules encourages chicken wing tackles and players concussing themselves trying to kick it mid air.

clip the other side, he takes 3 steps, 4 if you count the last one when he is dragged to the ground, will meet in the middle at 3.5
It was HTB clear as day, had to give the first give to Clark
I reckon that makes it worse, he then takes another two while trying to break through the tackle, if there is room to get another two steps then there is time to dispose of it.View attachment 2386211
I'm talking about the step from receival to the start of the tackle, after that is a different discussion.

He hasn't received the ball yet in this pic

He receives it here landing on his right foot

Step one on to his left foot and Forgarty is almost touching him already

Step one and a half (because his right foot hasn't touched the ground yet) and Forgarty has pinned his right arm in the tackle.
Honestly would take him. 100%.From the Carlton rumour thread, take it with a grain of salt:
“Cripps also wants out. He’s looking to finish his career in WA and doesn’t seem fussed about which club takes him — though West Coast looks like the obvious frontrunner.
Given the source’s track record and recent form, I’m confident this Cripps part is legit. Expect it to go public in the coming weeks.”
Geelong do it all the time.Under the current interpretation, you’re better off just dropping it as soon as you feel the brush of an arm. Then it’s just “knocked out in the tackle”.
I'll be back when I've finished throwing up.Fremantle premiership captain Patrick Cripps does have a ring to it.

Luckily there's the same chance of me captaining Freo than Patrick Cripps.I’ll throw up too. After 50 beers celebrating at the G
Had the same devilish thoughts!With Goodwin reported to have been sacked, is Kosi still possible?
I assume he signed the big contract because they told him he gets paid the big bucks and if he goes to Freo they will be forced to pay him the big bucks so win win. Maybe Demons pay part of his contract?
Don't go too soon, port have a presser todayMy first thought was "thankful we aren't playing Melbourne this weekend"
Or more likely his body would fall apart in his first season having to get on a plane for 8 hours every second week.The game on the weekend showed how valuable Cripps would be as he slaughtered us in the centre stoppages. He would maintain his current level for another 3 years as he wouldn't have to carry a whole team on his back as he has been doing for so many years.
I'd be pissed off if it was flipped and that wasn't paid to us (although Carlton probably would've just one hand thrown it and got away with it lol)
