I reckon you guys are kidding yourself calling this a non-flop. Broady is tough but assuming a slight glance of his forearm has buckled Danger is codswallop. He got it totally wrong and like others have said confused himself into some kind of instinctive flop sequence. Have another look at the arms outstretched as he pleads with the ump.

Arms and eyes - All indicative of a stager. Good call, Meat-based-donga!
Pretty sure you are watching a different incident to the rest of us.
I thought I might update this while I remember.

Have to agree, it may not be a "flop" but why does Danger's head fling backwards as Broad's arm trails? Because he is playing for a free.
Apologies if already mentioned but I hadn't noticed in 4 previous viewings when Gil approaches this flog after the game and goes for a fist bump.
I'm certainly no mind reader, but his eyes appeared to be saying "Don't worry champ, that's a 6 week elbow, but we have some room in the afl rug to sweep that one under, head up son, we will beat these pricks next year when Jezza cameron arrives"
Little known action outside of the small hamlet.
The Moggs Creek Flop (MCF) is rarely attempted, with most instances occurring when a hamlet resident is under fierce physical pressure, or buffeted by the breeze of a passing opponent (or pigeon high above the play).
The MCF has at times been highly effective but is becoming increasingly labeled the act of a FLOG.
Not really, Broad outbodied and outplayed Dangerflop. So much so Dangerflop was out of the play.
Dangerflop knew he’d been beaten and tried to orchestrate the flop to draw a free
If you wanted to encapsulate the difference between dusty and danger. Tigers 22 points down, dusty dares the impossible and bends reality to his will. Cats 3 goals down danger concedes it is not within him to change circumstances and tries to co opt the umpires by flopping and staging. Moral is real champs never surrender.
Disagree Big Ronnie.
Dangerflog is definitely playing for a free kick, does it all the time.
Either he was flopping or he can't keep his feet. He was clearly asking for a free while he was at it.
Neither is a good look.
When Richmond were crap I always remember watching them go to ground as their opponent stayed upright, it is critical to keep your feet otherwise you are out of the contest - at which point I suppose you might as well go for the free kick because you are out of the play.

I now understand the action as a result of this definitive insight, and suggest the regional dialect has somehow morphed Flop into FLOG due to a distinct lack of oral hygiene and the local gene pool providing an exaggeration of the upper palate (commonly referred to a Cletusism).Little known action outside of the small hamlet.
