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.

    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.

    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 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
