All defenders do that stuff. It's up to the umpires top sort it out. And for Gehrig to get on his bike and bloody move! When he's done well on Scarlett he's been a leading forward, not a goal-square wrestling forward. See R1 2004 for example.
I'll make a prediction. Riewolt will get his arms chopped every contest and will receive 3 free kicks (one in the first, third and early in the last).
However, it's not much of a crystal ball effort, happens every week. Defenders know the umps are not going to pay Roo a dozen frees so they'll continue with the tactic and be happy to cop a couple of penalties.

Gehrig has done well against all defenders when he leads.
Some defenders challenge him to a wrestling match and Gehrig not being to bright accepts the challenge. Whilst he is still wrestling the opposition clears the ball away.
Gehrig is useless when he wants to wrestle, he is great when he leads.
its a wonder we have the reputation of being the biggest whingers in the AFL (after collignwood of course) with all the topics and posts popping up here and on bigfooty.
If its not one thing its another. Ever thought that MAYBE what the opposition are doing is fair and we are just not good enough?

scarlett doesnt do anything that maxy doesnt do the other end so calling him a cheat is calling maxy a cheat

If these are the reasons people think that explain our success record we are delusional. Scarlett has always beaten Gehrig and probably always will. It is up to RL ta plan for that.
Gehrig just has to trot off to the pocket tomorrow and hope Scarlett goes with him.
A 0-0 result would be great for us; I'm backing Riewoldt and Koschitzke to win their respective positions and that's all we need.
Let's face it, it worked a treat last week when our midfield got the ball down to them.
...BUT the supply has to be there. And the best thing Gehrig did during that first term? Wander off, taking Lake with him. It freed up the lines, and we dominated against the weaker defenders.
Gehrig is best suited to acting as a decoy forward tomorrow. His main role should be to try and take Scarlett out of the game whose rebound from defense can be damaging.
