The only thing he was attempting to do there was cause injury. Deserves 3+. What a rat
What a low life Selwood is. Should be weeks for that. Deliberate attempt to dislocate Wright's shoulder. But as per usual the AFL's pin up boy will be given a get out of gaol card.
Trust me, I'm truly fighting the urge not to rant, but please, to everyone of the opinion that Selwood should get weeks, go back and look very closely at the footage. Selwood had Wright's arm pinned for the best part of 2 seconds. He did not heave onto Wright's shoulder, and that's contradictory to the point of most here, that Selwood was trying to push his arm further up Wright's back. What happened was, Selwood ran and tackled Wright to the ground, and as players came to solidify the tackle, he pinned Wright's arm so he couldn't get rid of the ball. When support came and aided the tackle, Selwood went up and held the pin vertically, not pulling on the shoulder, but simply holding vertically on Wright's back, letting out his frustration. A true chicken-wing would have been is Selwood locked the arm and pushed it against it's natural force to definitively injure one's shoulder. If Selwood had the intent to injure, he would have pushed the arm pin much further along his back, which he didn't.was heaving on Wright's shoulder, he knew exactly what he was doing...
