Want my mob to tackle correctly ... works a treat, no room for sooks.

When you put your head over the ball for a decade like Joel has you’re bound to get free kicks.

 

[Franc de Borges]

Does he get another free for being ‘too high’ on this list?

 

[Roddy]

Yep, opposition players only have to look at his shoulder/neck area from across the car park two hours before the game to give away a high free to duckwood....

I'd blame the tackle, which way did the kick go?

 

[Rich01]

10.7% of his possessions over this time came from free kicks.

 

[mike123]

Fair play to him. AFL tacklers are super lazy and he exploited that for over a decade.

Sure he does

Selwood getting free kicks
Hawks fans sooking about Selwood getting free kicks.

Bank on both.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Quite amazing he’s got away with it for a whole career. It really is a blight on the umpires.

 

[Furn2]

Interesting he's fallen away to a B grade at best player now the interpretation has changed and he can be tackled.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

winty you’ve asked the question before. No one has answered it yet.

Abasi you’re better than this low level garbage.

Speaking of, the standard of the main board. One of the toughest most courageous footballers and proudly will watch him notch game 300 in 2020

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

I like to think of it as The Selwood Duckade.

Stupid stat. The only players on that list are players who have played for the entire decade. All the players are in the same age group ffs.

He was leading brownlow favourtism two thirds of the way through the first season they changed the rule. Then injuries hit.

Thats a swing and a miss from you.

All of them clear frees. Not even the slightest hint of ducking. Well done in prooving your own point utterly wrong.

Ps why do you have a pick of sam mitchell doing a mimic of his very own classic elbow to the head play behind the play.

Those are all horrible examples. Would be high even if he didn't duck, Horrible tackling technique. I'm not sure what you're trying to illustrate here.

They’re all perfect examples of his arm lift, which is the key mechanism he employs to earn himself a free for a high tackle.

Jeez the way you guys whinge about it i would of thought it was over 40 percent. 10 percent is a tiny number.

Got away with head high tackles. Ummm, you do get those tackles are illegal for everyone right?

That and ofcourse put their arm around his neck when he has the ball.

Has a stat that covers the last 10 seasons, complains that the players that played the most games in that period are represented in the top 10.

possibly the most idiotic comment I have seen on big footy.

Shouldnt this thread be merged with the 35 other whinging selwood main board threads? How many do we need mods?
