Welcome everyone to One-Eyed Richmond's Tiger Forum Cheers from mightytiges and WilliamPowell.
Holding the ball was the correct decision against Morris, the spear tackle was after so not sure if it should be reversed.That block head Walker should get weeks for that.
In the radio commentary during the game they also mentioned Douglas could be in trouble for front on contact while a Tiger (can't remember who) had his head over the ball?

Looked bad
Brenton Sanderson says it was a 'fantastic' tackle and if wingnut Walker gets suspended there is something wrong with the game.....
Just seen it on the halftime report & thats worth 8 weeks l reckon.Liked Morris reaction but l would have smacked that prick senceless
ADELAIDE coach Brenton Sanderson has suggested it would be a blight on the game if forward Taylor Walker was suspended for his sling tackle on Richmond's Steven Morris.Walker was awarded a free kick for the tackle, despite replays showing the former West Adelaide player was dumped on his head.Morris escaped injury and jumped straight up to remonstrate with Walker; the ground softened by weeks of rain."I think we will wait and see what happens but just live, I thought [it was a] fantastic tackle," Sanderson said.......http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/139984/default.aspx
The decision was incorrect, was holding the ball but if you tackle incorrectly its not holding the ball, same as if you run someone down but ride their back into the ground or tackle high or sling the tackle. Had no difference to result as Walker missed the goal anyway.Walker will get a week, put your house on it. Was very very very lucky Morris wasn't injured, if Morris was concussed Walker would have been given a month off.
