That was definitely holding the ball first.

We lack leadership in the big moments there is no doubt about that.
Smith has a turning circle of a Boeing 777, why put it on his head or over it? He can't turn around quick enough.

So disappointing, the lack of intensity and smarts in the last qtr was disturbing.
He has had a poor year in the box Bevo. We lack on field leadership also there is no doubt about that.

That's my view too. Except it was Selwood, so the rules don't apply.

It can't be, if the tackle is in the back.
If Cloke didn't get in his back the umpire doesn't blow the whistle. Should have, but wouldn't have because it was Selwood. The only call the umpire making in that situation was one for an illegal tackle.

This was a poorly selected team without any height on the backline. Roberts and Cordy should have played. We played Taylor back into form as a forward.

Re: Game Day Round 9, 2017 - Geelong V Western Bulldogs
It's a good point, but my initial reaction without seeing a replay was there was a clear tackle/incorrect disposal which should've been whistled before Selwood milked the contact. They gave him a lot of time. Doesn't excuse the 50.

Selwood went to kick the ball and had a fresh air, the in the back happened after that when Selwood dived forward and taking Cloke with him.

Why was Roberts dropped anyway?

Only one of them needed to play... Probably Cordy.

Can't agree with that. Cloke hung onto the tackle too long but it was holding the ball way before it was in the back. You pay the first free kick first everyday of the week.

I'm sorry but you can't if it's an illegal tackle.
What's so hard to understand about that?

Easy. It was a legal tackle when he dropped the footy. You pay the first free kick first, whats so hard to understand about that?
