You're all over the shop with that and not really making any sense.
As I said above, what Selwood is doing is not technically cheating, but it is against the spirit of the game. He has openly admitted that his major tactic is to deliberately duck into opposing players to draw frees. He is not the only player to have done this, but he is the only player to do it on a deliberately consistent basis, hence why his free count (one of the top three in the competition) is so high.
Clearly you're sprouting nonsense about the Whitecross incident in the rest of your post. Selwood was not 'nearly decapitated' in the incident, but rather he was left dazed after running into a hapless Whitecross (who was still getting up off the ground) and driving him 2 metres backward through the force with which he hit the Hawk player. 99.9% of the footballing world and community accept this interpretation, which is all too obvious when viewed through normal speed. The 0.1% who don't accept it, delude themselves with isolated viewings of slow motion footage, of which you could comfortably fit 100 freezeframes into the second that Whitecross had to act when he realised Selwood was about to barrel through him.
The problematic head rule was put in place to stop players directly (or indirectly) initiating a play that caused unnecessary contact to an opposing players head. Most players are outed accordingly, unless they play for the West Coast Eagles, apparently.
The rule wasn't put in place to punish poor unsuspecting bastards who get unavoidably barreled into by head down opponents, whilst stationary.
I actually think this was one time in which Selwood wasn't deliberately trying to do it, but he did do it regardless, and the tribunal correctly avoided a massive miscarriage of justice by clearing Whitecross, much to the relief of every other footballer in the competition.
