Not a fan of Cicely but thought he was unlucky to get a week, Selwood was holding on, almost tripping him, and to my mind caused him to fall with the knees.
He would have got away with the first half knee if he'd left it at that, but then he dropped another one in with interest afterwards

Selwood is as cunning as an outhouse rat, you just know after the first incident he would have been whispering sweet nothings into Sicily's ear whenever he got the chance, until his cork popped.

I hate the Selwood tactic and you know that now Clarkson has brought it up, AFL House and the umps will react. Hopefully they will limit non-high calls to the 'drop knees and lift arm high to gain a free' and not just the 5'9ers getting their head out of the way of the arm of a closelining 6'3er

The one that gets me is when the player is genuinely bending down picking the ball up and gets tackled high and the ump calls no, you ducked, play on.

Fair enough if they either hover down there waiting for the impact (which Sonny does a bit of), come back up slightly then and duck back down, (again Sonny) or charge forward into a player while bending down picking it up.
