[SM]

Boom. As it were..

The Swans medical report must've been bad.

1 week. Unlucky

 

[Jones2ByrneJones]

Good one, Boomer. Incredibly selfish and undisciplined to let your team down like that, particularly given you're not just a senior player of the club but the second most senior player in the entire ******* league.

Brent Harvey, North Melbourne, has been charged with a Level One Engaging in Rough Conduct Offence (125 demerit points, one-match sanction) for engaging in rough conduct against Joel Selwood, Geelong Cats, during the second quarter of the Second Semi Final match between North Melbourne Melbourne and the Geelong Cats, played at the MCG on Friday September 12, 2014.

In summary, due to his previous poor record, his one-match sanction must remain at one match, even with an early plea.

Moral of the story is not to line up unsuspecting people and clean them up off the ball in order to try and impose yourself.

Does he risk two by appealing?

Edit: no he doesn't. Appeal for sure

In my haste to post I forgot to source it, thanks to subsequent peeps.

For the record I want him to play, so we'll see how it goes.

Also.. Bonz. One week back on the podcast and my predictions of injuries/suspensions continues to be 100%.

Brent can't control himself sometimes.

Can't say I agree with it, but it is still a chook raffle at the end of the day. The video on the AFL website shows the inconsistency throughout the year. It is fun playing the "guilty/not guilty" game though.

Wonder if the appeal will work.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Very weak, whinge during the game by Selwood didn't help.

Playing Sydney.

Gotta enhance the next TV rights deal.

Nothing more to be said.

 

[Quivorir]

Was always going to happen. Shouldn't, but inevitable.

 

[#gosaintas]

Boomer is such a tool of a bloke but Nth should appeal that. Insufficient force. Typical Selwood behaviour to highlight the clash. Can't miss a prelim for that.

 

[Beachsleeper]

I blame Adam Goodes and COLA for forcing Brent Harvey to do another completely stupid and unnecessary thing that only hurts his club.

EDIT: Btw, don't think it deserves a week.

Getting in early, aren't we? What happens when he's cleared and you still lose?

SElwood was forced off from something that was not needed. Harvey risked it and has to risk penalties.

Did Selwood make Harvey charge towards him? No.
Did Selwood make Harvey's feet leave the ground? No.

Left the ground, head high contact, surely intent and sufficient force to make Selwood leave the ground would be hard to over turn?

Don't be a dill. He was blocking Selwood from running onto the next play - and as he was facing Selwood, not the ball, he hadn't realised that the guy with the ball had turned the other way.

Stupid rule, which we can all thank Nathan Buckley for. Complete accidents shouldn't cost anyone games.

But, as the rule is there, I can't see any way he gets out of it unless it was insufficient force for the charge to be laid. Selwood wasn't knocked over and had no concussion or any ill-effects, except he was hit on a spot where even minimal contact caused bleeding.

Probably not. It's clear he's gone out of his way to try to knock over Selwood. They'd be better off taking the week and hoping they can beat the Swans.

Would have been free to play if he didn't have such a poor record.

Blood coming from his opponent's head kind of mitigates the "insufficient force" argument.
