as i originally said, the key factor here is that the ball was not held or pinned by the tackler. the second factor was he made no genuine attempt to dispose of the ball (he only tried to break the tackle) and the third and defining factor was he eventually (after a fair while) just dropped the ball. i also said he was unlucky to be the recipient of such a good tackle, but that's the luck of the game (rules) of course there is always a degree of interpretation, but in this situation it would be given a free in most cases. the ball was not "spilled" due to, or at the time of tackle. in fact he dropped it a couple of seconds later and that is critical. it's a free kick now and it was a free kick 50 years ago. i'll concede that a lot of holding the ball situations today that were paid in the past are not being paid now. in most cases, this was done to streamline play, like giving players longer to dispose of the ball but other changes (interpretations) have just added to the inconsistency and subjectivity.

macca, we won't know how clean they were at rio for probably 4 years. i think it's a great idea that they hang onto samples then retest them later when technology improves, but i wouldn't be confident in saying 98% or better are clean. agree other sports could do more as far as rio olympics are concerned i couldn't be more underwhelmed and not just because of peds

if the afl want to have any credibility on social issues they first need to address their unhealthy association and reliance on gambling, rather than their feel-good, look-at-me tokenism

with prior opportunity you still have to make a legitimate attempt at disposal (was discussed in media recently) sure, lewis was unlucky to get caught in a very good tackle but that's footy definite free kick for incorrect disposal
-
in lewis's case the ball wasn't held to him, his arm was pinned and he didn't dispose of the ball correctly or attempt to, eventually letting it drop from his hands free every time

swans certainly getting the worst of the umpiring

at this time of the year insiders only tell you what they would like you (or anyone) to believe in their best interests it's called posturing
