Is that a free arm?

Where did you get that from? He has clearly opted to keep hold of the ball and brace for contact.

I think it was a rhetorical question Paul.

Finally got to watch the whole game.
Great improved effort from the team, with the tackling in particular quite fierce. Tended to get their bodies engaged more in tackles rather than just grasping with their arms.
Best players for me were Murphy, Cripps, Bell and Rowe. Other good contributions from Gibbs, Docherty, Buckley, Henderson, Casboult, Everitt, Graham and Yarren. Quite a few players drifted in and oht of the games, but the best players stuck at it the whole game.
We still had 100+ points kicked against us, when Schultz and westhoff had poor games, suggesting our defence still needs alot of work. But good run and carry out of half back and a preference for finding targets in the middle rather than thumping it along the lines.
In two minds about the Gibbs tackle, but the means of determining such incidents is a mess by the AFL. No proper tribunal would use the effect on the player as a primary determinant of a penalty. Did he break the rules? If the answer is no then he has no case to answer. 3 weeks is excessive for an act that was within the rules, and was without intent. Appropriate would be a few points to carry over as a warning to take a little more care. Club should appeal immediately.

Come on blues, season is gone. Challenge this, we're talking about a game against Richmond at risk. Let the players know their club is behind them >

I know it was. My answer was for those that may not have remembered.
Here's an article from 2011 discussing the same thing :

If we don't appeal this one we haven't come very far over the past three weeks.
Re: Round 12: Carlton vs. Port Adelaide - Post match celebrations - ItsOurTime - 06-22-2015
@Viv, I believe that if there are 2 actions to the tackle then it is considered reckless.

Anyone gunna lose sleep over that
Thing is, given every other player had lifted their game, run and tackled with intensity, if Gibbs does similar we have him back to last year when he was B & F. Now Mick has gone we are seeing we need to think of most players differently.

Appeal it...nothing to lose.
It will highlight it further and set a standard that other incidents will be compared to.
What was good about the tackle was that at the time it seemed to spur other players into hitting the opposition with equal aggression.
