Ain't no if about it. We cop them and plenty of far more contentious ones most weeksIt was technically a free but my God you would be whinging if it was against the crows. Masterfully drawn free kick.

It's a deliberate ploy to earn a free kick.Sorry mate but I never ever want to watch our sport where head high contact like that is not penalised. Its a weak tackle and was easily raised high.
I know what the rule says but still reckon 9 times out of 10 that one would be paid.
Incorrect. Sydney were equal top when we beat them.

This is a club that said they had moved past Adelaide (hilarious bullshit if ever you have heard it) - their crowds have been declining since 2014.
Disgraceful attendance on a perfect night and being a Saturday night and all as well.
Schadenfraude.I'm still on the floor laughing - brilliant stuff.
Couldn't script it better than a Hitchcock thriller.
Still didn't beat a side in the top 8 at the time they played them.

Who gives a s**t, if you need to hang your hat on that sort of thing then you truly are a pathetic little person with a very sad lifeNo they weren't. At the start of the year, sides are in alphabetical order on the table.
Irrelevant - no-one else did you beat at the time you played them. You did well to finish 7th for the season. Need significant changes for 2018.
Its alright, let them get ahead of themselves, fling s**t everywhere, then choke in another home prelim.Shadenfraude.
Crows losers like you actually have a mental illness, I am sure you are at home rolling around in your faeces masturbating you are so excited

Poor, lazy argument just citing the club I barrack for.
As a kid the lesson was to get low and tackle the hips. Even around the elbows you apply much more torque on the shoulder joint and hence its a lot less risky.
Just tackle properly.
Predictable? Another genius in hindsightWell done Eagles, Port managed to go through the season without beating a team in the 8 so it was a predictable and fitting result.
Classy by Hinkley to not throw Dixon under a bus - Kennedy no showed but they finish with 3 goals a piece.
Schadenfraude.

Yeah, I wouldn't call a game going in to over time and then being decided by a goal after the sirenexactly predictable lol.Predictable? Another genius in hindsight
Considering you failed to beat a side in the 8 all year, then yes it was predictable.Predictable? Another genius in hindsight
Thank * you're nowhere near the rules committee.I think it should be a free kick for every player in the league. We will agree to disagree.
It is very hard to tackle properly when the tackled player massively drops their centre of gravity just as the tackler arrives. A lot of these tackles have targeted the hips, but have a look at how the Selwoods (and their many apprentices) look like they are sitting on an invisible toilet just as they are being tackled. Their trick is a two parter. Firstly do the 'sit on the toilet'. This drops the hips well below the tackler's original aim, and the tackle hits further up the body (but usually still legal at this point), which then makes it much easier to raise the arm and slip the tackler's arms up to your neck.
The umpires are not giving free kicks that are not there under a strict interpretation of the rules (and this is not really ducking which has been attempted to be addressed, and I think calling this 'duckwood' is inaccurate, but it rolls of the tongue better than 'sit-on-toilet-then-raise-arm-wood'). Most people want this type of free eliminated , and don't feel that the 'tackled player needs more leeway', in fact the footy world is howling for a lot less leeway because the majority appears to want to see not only this rubbed out, but a much stricter interpretation of holding ball, that is less lenient on the tackled player, and rewards the tackler more often. I raise the club your barrack for, because I feel the reason you are in the minority is because you sport not just one, but two Selwoods who are the patient zeros and acknowledged masters of the 'sit-on-toilet-then-raise-arm' free kick drawing method.
