Contact between Carlton’s Chris Johnson and the Brisbane Lions’ Troy Selwood from the third quarter of Saturday’s game was assessed. It was the view of the panel that both players were converging on the ball, when the ball bounced towards Selwood, who extended his left arm to gather it. At this time, Johnson braced for inevitable contact that would occur. Johnson did not have a realistic alternative way to contest the ball, as the ball was not gathered by the Brisbane player until immediately before contact was made. The Carlton player did not leave the ground to make contact, he did not run past the ball to make contact and his elbow was tucked in at all times for the contact he made.
