The kicker with Selwood is he's such a campaigner that everyone wants to whack him anyway. (Cicily for PM?) Coupled with the ducking, it's the perfect ****en storm with him.

As much as the ducking shits me, there's no bigger flog in the game than James Sicily.

Bloke is a complete campaigner and an average footballer.

How many posters condemning Selwood, cheered Materas Goal on the week end?

Hope he does not make a habit of Cheapies like that.
I assume you are referring to the Heppell tackle on Matera in 3rd which resulted in a shot on goal?

If you are, the difference is that Matera's arm or actions, apart from his momentum which he can not alter, nor should he, did not cause the free kick. On the other hand, Selwood, Schuey et al, actually instigate the free by bringing their arm up. There would be no free otherwise as the intention of the tackler is to tackle, confirmed by where he starts the tackle. The tackle slips up because of the actions of the tacklee.

It's akin to a soccer player taking a dive in soccer, which we all laugh at. I have mentioned this before and got shot down by some but I remain resolute in my belief.

If you think Matera's arm shot upwards I suggest you take another look at the game.

Disagree to an extent. Yes, he is a campaigner but there are many bigger flogs in the game than him.

I don't want to see that cheating crap ever again let alone look back on it.

He did the usual scumgut salute. And it looked instinctual too which does not look good

I have played that action over and over(of Shuey) frame by frame to an Eagles Supporter defending Shuey for it and its all the same.

I think Dow is proof you can rush high picks in to the system too early. He's just not ready

What's worse is I still think Carlton have a better team than the pies. Pies aren't playing great, blues are just putrid. Didn't think Marchbank was that important to them.

Seriously we are better than both these teams. Pies may beat us though because they lower their eyes when they go into the 50. I wish we did that more

The Pies forward line this year under Sanderson is totally different from last year. Very efficient and locking it in their half really well.

Cool bro, tell me more about how horrible Dows kicking is in only his third AFL game. It's so very insightful.
How about stop being a cock womble and trying to shut down discussion? In the 3 games I’ve seen he’s barely hit a target.
Now piss off and the rest of us can talk

Hard to believe you were once a mod. I call you out for shaming a third gamer and I'm the 'cock womble'. Typical Lach72 comment really, insults and nothing else.
