The Selwood Decade... we may never see anything like it

[Rich01]

Did he beat the opposition to the ball every time? This time, last time, next time ..... marvellous thing that, first to the ball ..... but, but but, nah!!

I just quoted a statistical fact. I’m not sure where your response to it came from.

 

[Kwality]

I just quoted a statistical fact. I’m not sure where your response to it came from.

OK lets quibble:

100% of the times he won the race to the ball, 100% of the time the tackler was second to the ball & 100% of the time was outplayed by Selwood.
& 100% of the time sooks sooked.

Suit your statitical bent?

No.

The stats don’t break down what Joel got them for. You’re making an assumption they were all paid for high tackles.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Are you suggesting instead of trying to slip under it he should leap over it?

More so that he doesn’t actually move his head or neck down and out of the way of the incoming arm, which ultimately directs it to make contact to his neck.

It’s almost like it’s by design....

Oh. So he should just let himself be tackled?
Btw if he's trying to move his head or neck down and out of the way of the tackle..... then how's it his fault he gets high? By your own admission he's trying to move out of the way?

 

[Kwality]

No.

Maths not your strong suit.

 

[Rich01]

Stats and logic obviously aren’t yours.

Yes, and there have been none bigger than the West coast whiners. A real sulky bunch.

 

[Farang83150]

So what other actions that causes players to normally give away free kicks now be reversed?
pushing arms down to cause tripping

Your going in circles and asking the same questions I've already answered, you don't seem to be able to keep up with your own argument.

 

[Kwality]

Stats and logic obviously aren’t yours.

You have no concept of 100%.

But he’s not doing that.

Are you new to watching Joel Selwood?

 

[boncer34]

But he’s not doing that.

Are you new to watching Joel Selwood?

But you said he was trying to do it. Just not getting it done quickly enough.

 

[Kwality]

But he’s not doing that.

Be there first .... thats a tough ask

 

[matey]

Primary school picture of Selwood.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Be there first .... thats a tough ask

Don’t immediately lift your arm up to gain a high tackle and a record number of free kicks ...that’s a tough ask.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Hawthorn fans are funny.
Must share their combined 100 IQ points. Funny OP.

 

[Kwality]

Certainly easier to ask rather than putting it on your own bloke to win the race for the ball - lift your expectation of being 2nd to the ball.

Do you know how many other players are first to the ball who aren’t leading the league in free kicks?

It’s a lot.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Someone has to lead the league in each statistical category.

Derp.

He’s 200 clear of the next player!

So?

Tackle lower.
It’s Groundhog Day in here. winty has asked yet no one has produced footage of a single duck in 13 seasons.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

So?

So he’s 200 free kicks clear of the next best.....and continues to shrug his way clear of all comers.

But but but, it’s the tacklers who are doing something wrong, coincidently to just the one player hundreds of times more than any one else.

Coaches are so obsessed with pinning arms of the player being tackled that a rudimentary thing like tackling around the waist has been forgotten.

Maybe you should direct your outrage to the blokes blowing the whistle then.

Like this?



Ironically tackled ‘high’ by one or the shortest blokes in the league.



Just skip to 0.42



And 0.07
