Duck is right. If it was a low, flat, hard kick it wwould of been kotcha
ahh, but that is the beauty of the trap. there was a player positioned about 20m from the goal, forcing the kick to need elevation to clear him.
the whole set up is designed for exactly what happened. to give the illusion of a man in space and encourage the kicker to make a dangerous kick. as soon as he kicked, the freo players were spinting to get to the fall of the ball.
the kick would need to cm perfect to come off.
i think someone else may have fell for it earlier in the game too.
