Different div, no free kick either
Problem with sling tackles is so many different opinions
People want sending off and others saying not even a free kick
Hard to umpire and make a split second decision but would assume the umpires are instructed that if in doubt pay a free at least

The thing is, the rules come from the top, meaning slings & dangerous tackles are illegal and should be penailsed via a free kick.
Some of these umps are from a bygone era when this sort of tackle was a skill. It's just not in the laws of the game any more, same as you can't bump high anymore.
Times change, umpires need to as well.

Definite sling that should have been addressed, it probably would've stopped all the bullshit that went on for the next couple of minutes.

For the record no one is complaining about the first one I posted, we found it quite funny tbh, just wondered what others thoughts were and where the league is at with them as I usually only get 2 a couple of Lockleys games every year.

I think that for any time a player just grabs the jumper and there is a 2nd action, its a sling and you probably see it more in the lower grades as they may not have been taught how to tackle properly.
