Message: [QUOTE="Super Freak, post: 2955391, member: 8536"] It's not an opinionated guess, it's a well known rule that's been around for years. Have you ever seen moments where a player is trying to catch a kick or a pass and he gets whacked the moment he touches it and loses it and it's play on? That's because he is deemed to be playing at it, and you can tackle players playing at the ball. The same applies in this situation. Kodi is playing at the ball, he has touched it therefore Boyd has every right to do what he did. The scenario you suggested, if he bats it back and is tackled almost immediately then it's play on. If it's well after, it's a penalty. The contact has to be pretty much simultaneous. The tackled without possession rule is more about moments players are tackled on suspicion because the defender thinks they are getting the ball or chasers that are tackled while chasing a kick etc. [/QUOTE]
