I cannot believe the garbage Robbo and Dunstall are coming out with to defend Dflogs tackle on Walsh.
Do they not realise that you don’t need to bring a player to the ground to effect a tackle anymore ?
Dflog, by kicking his legs out in front of himself abandoned his duty of care to Walsh because he removed his own ability to control the tackle !
He pinned Walshes arms, so he couldn’t legally dispose of the ball, all he needed to do was hang on and he would have been rewarded for his tackle.
There’s no need for the tackler to bring his opponent to the ground unless it’s to run time off the clock. If Walsh had been allowed to keep his feet, he may have got a foot to the ball but the chances of that going to our advantage would be low.
I think that it is highly likely that Dangerfield’s intentions went beyond stopping Walsh and forcing a stoppage.
