I recommend tackling an arm not the body, and pull it down and back if possible, may cause a few dislocations but will not give a free kick. This is for the duckers of the world. You asked for it.

Or grab "perpendiculating" arm at elbow & hold it up while teammate smashes into unprotected ribs.

    Here's this weeks edition of 'weak ducking cheat'. These players need to be shamed as they go against the spirit of the game. I'm glad we don't have any players that resort to this kind of rubbish. Hopefully someone knocks his head off or at very least rips a chunk of that wig off.

    You guys are all over reacting to a kid that dropped himself down twice not six times, being a brisbane supporter I agree that he did drop his knees but not all six times some were from sloppy tackles and one wasn't even from a high tackle it was an infringement after a mark. Maybe you should look into the Selwoods who have been getting away with it for years.

    No, Rhys, you dropped your knees every time. Now go practice being a turtle, b!tchmode.

    I believe there needs to be something done about this otherwise we will either have 30 or 40 of these 'high tackle' decisions given a game or there will be no tackling at all.

    If this becomes the SOP of the man with the ball I will stop watching and supporting.

    When he is lying on his back with his jaw re broken he may just sit back and think... I shouldn't have dropped my knee... I'm a fIog.

    He would be right.

    The crumpling is rubbish or the reaction?

    He called it the thursday when he was named in the team. 

    Slobbo called him out for a future incidence of ducking? Must have finally reached that worm at the bottom of the bottle.

    I hope the umps talk to the lions and words them up they will not pay any head highs for him unless he is standing.

    So glad none of our players seem to have this habit.

    Drives me mad that all we hear about is how protecting the players heads is of the highest importance and then there are cheats like Mathieson doing everything possible to initiate high contact. 

    I would have thought the AFLPA should be giving him and anyone using similar tactics a call if they are serious about player welfare. Someone will get seriously injured soon enough and only have themselves to blame. 

    Bottom line. It's not in the spirit of footy!! Which surely means something.

    Hilarious, i gather that was actually comedy. 

    Have a watch again and you will see he at the very least drops a shoulder and his body in every tackle. He played for the free every time.

    Give him a break - the guy has a flawed technique and he was taught by Windows in the U18s.

    If he persists with doing it, he'll end up being a regular concussion head - so it will be coached out of him - eventually.

     

    Can't be too Flawed the umps LUUURVED IT!

    Its not so much the dropping of the knees that did it for me. It was the throwing up of the arm.... Anyone on the Balcony would have noticed me blowing up about it every time. There was also a couple more that weren't paid because play had already stopped. I wish more players than just ANB had had a go at him for his cheating play

    Wasn't this the bloke who was being touted as one of our more favored Draft Picks by some on this forum in the 2015 National draft. 

    Obviously we all knew nothing about him then, but.......

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
