There's not a "no sliding" rule. That's completely legal. What you're not allowed to do is make forceful contact below the knee, whether it's sliding or any other mechanism. Moore didn't do that.

If Kozi had played the ball there's a fair chance he gets a free kick from Moore if Darcy takes out his legs. However instead he chose to bump and got Moore high, and there was never any forceful contact below the knee.
And because of that rule, it is reasonable for Pickett to expect that Moore is going to keep his feet.

Not sure if you watched the Fox feed last night but the panel were all in agreement that Pickett shouldn’t be suspended and it was reasonable for Pickett to bump in that situation and not expect Moore to throw himself to the ground.

Seriously tho I do love these sorts of days where sport and maths come together in an unseemly orgy of geekiness.
