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.

    The blokes lying on his back and throws his whole body backwards but it was a bad tackle.

    Kid would get 9.5s from the soviet and chinese judges

    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?

    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. 

  • Quote

    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.......

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
