I wasn't going to comment further on this game but I have an observation that I don't think anyone else has remarked upon.
Christensen looks to have perfected the 'Selwood shrug' and milked two free kicks (one for a goal) by forcing the tackler's arm to ride up above his shoulder. Umpires should be instructed not to pay free kicks for high contact when the tackled player contributes to the high contact. The 'Selwood shrug' should be no different to 'ducking the head'.
