Interesting vision on Channel Seven on Friday night appearing to show Carlton’s Jarrad Waite attempting to kick a Richmond opponent behind him. It can only have been good luck or Waite’s lack of flexibility that saved the opponent’s ‘man bits’.
AussieRulesBlog eagerly awaits the Match Review Panel’s announcement that Waite did nothing wrong.
In the meantime, Saint Farren Ray will be asked to answer a charge after Cat Joel Selwood all but ran into him as they both braced to contest the ball between them. We can’t help but admire Selwood’s courage, but it’s not by accident that he receives so many free kicks for high contact.
We think Selwood puts his head and shoulders down low on purpose to draw contact and free kicks. We have complained previously that a player who has chosen to put his head down low and then runs into an opponent should not be rewarded with a free kick. Often times the opponent has no practical option but to allow himself to be hit.
