Your name is Selwood? Have a free kick...

Joel Selwood 6 frees for 3 against
Scott Selwood 6 frees for 1 against
Adam Selwood 3 frees for 1 against

I know they all get their heads in and under a lot but 15 free kicks between them is quite a few

You're only just working this out?? They play an interesting style bit being and eagles fan I'm all for it.

If your first to the ball and they more than often are you will receive more free kicks than you give away.

Well every time they approach a tackle they come in at a angle with the shoulder lower then the tacklers arm, and in result they cop one high, it's a very good tactic the selwoods have

No doubt they play for the free kicks. Joel selwood the only decent one. The other 2 are just hacks trying to keep up with him so they duck there head lower to try win more free kicks/easy stats. Mind you, the eagles in general play for free kicks.

Troy does it as well and every time he just about gets killed. :P

If you duck your head .. it shouldn't be a free kick! That's what the Selwood brothers do .. and it is a joke! Almost as bad as the Matthew Loyd fake push in the back a few years back!

if you look at the stats adam and scott dont get that many FF usually. I personally think Joel deserves most of the free he gets if you look at the other players who get lots of free kicks they are genrally good players who work hard for the ball if you exclude brogan and toy the top FF guys are Selwood, Hayes, Murphy, Cox, Swallow

Umm dude Jelwood gets more frees than Adam or Scott. I don't see you placing your body on the line week in week out. Nothing is saying its illegal just pure footy smarts combined with the ability to read the play. Please, we don't care about your unwarranted hate on the eagles.

I think you'll find that they drop their knees. Thus getting frees.

He'll learn how to play. Probs why he went to brizzy while the other went to West Coast and Geelong.
