selwood could have just as easily avoided contact, he chose not to.

Hawkins should know better and have got a week, but of course no.

I also believe that the contact was unintentional head contact with little force. In the real world he would get off. In the AFL world anything is possible.
The tribunal in its many forms over the years has always been inconstant and to some extent biased. Nothing has changed.
And the AFL wonders why people's interest in the sport is waning.

I agree, the incident isn't even worthy of the time that will be wasted in tribunal. |
His carry over points and poor record count against him. Given the circumstances it was stupid, is it worthy of a week, probably not, but why would you put yourself in that situation 1st game back from suspension. |

Not when they are up against the best team AFL (diverted money) can buy.
I am hoping the Gil has the testicular fortitude to change the way the league is being manipulated by the AFL. I am not holding my breath. I suspect he was part of the problem in the past and will not be part of the future solution. |

The bump was just on Channel 9 news and another look--Boomer intended to bump
but just he collided with Selwood a team mate cannoned into him causing Boomer to pitch forward
The power brokers at Arden St with their lawyers are hoping to enlist Selwood in their challange to suspension

You shouldn't miss a final because of that. |
I agree, but that is the rule.
The rule needs to be changed, so that incidental head to head contact does not attract a penalty. If he'd collected Selwood with his shoulder or elbow, even accidentally, then I'd be in favour of a suspension, but not when it's a clash of heads. Seriously, Selwood is a sook and a lagger. Just hope he doesn't win the bloody brownlow. |
It's not accidental, it's negligent, given the choice to bump.
I think the logic of the rule is sound. A player engaging in a dangerous act (a bump), needs to take every care not to do damage to his opponent. If as a result of his choice to bump there is a head clash then that is his responsibility.

I actually don't mind the kangas too much... if I hadn't of picked the Pies when I was a little boy, it would have been the Roos.. glad I picked the Pies though

Be careful or we won't have anyone on the field... the game has already changed to much for the weak of stomach.
