Matthews is a flog... Darling got up holding his neck and grimacing from the mcpharlin bump, Johnsons hit on selwood he was crouched but his head was up right and it was on the shoulder. Selwood bounced strait up.
If he gets rubbed out for that absolute disgrace!!!!!!!!

He could do with a rest, but not by suspension
agree but the Mcpharlin suspension was a nonsense as well.

The reason McPharlin was suspended was because Darling made the contact look bad and the umpire put him in the book immediately. The MRP and tribunal then had their hands tied, because they had to follow the process and the rules have no flexibility. As has been pointed out, Selwood bounced straight up and appeared unaffected, so Johnson will probably have no case to answer because the MRP will either not review the incident or look at it and decide its not reportable.

Not against Saints
It would be hard to believe that even this stupid MRP could take that SJ bump to the shoulder seriously.

The Dogs game in two weeks will be the perfect opportunity to rest more players.

Was a good hit, nothing in it.
Reg, you're a clown who's obviously never been involved with any sort of forceful contact.

Haha I clicked on this article based on the title and yep, you guessed it, it was written by none other than the clown Jesse Hogan.

Based on his record of predicting all things Geelong I'd say Stevie J has nothing to worry about.

Guerra was suspended for three weeks after a similar front-on, head-down collision with Eddie Betts. If anything, Johnson's bump was worse than Guerra's, who tried to contest the ball, but was taken by surprise when a wimpy Betts made a last second decision to drop his head and go back in for the ball.
The MRP take a dim view on these "front on" collisions.
Brent Guerra was assessed as reckless, high contact and medium impact
Johnson's sole objective was to bump. He is probably in a spot of bother. Channel 7 commentators picked up on it; there is an article in The Age and you guys have a thread on it. You know the MRP will look at it. Where there is smoke, there is fire. James Kelly did a similar bump earlier this season and had no case to answer, so who knows which way it will go with the MRP Chooklotto?
It's time to flip a coin and sweat on which way it comes up
And just by the way, if you fail to show up any more with your Geelong-hating comments across half our threads, it won't be hard to take.
Terrible lead-up situation.

I was referring to Guerra's bumps against the Cats. Both his hits against Chappy and Pods seemed worse than Johnson's, so going by that I'm hoping he has nothing to worry about.
Still, knowing the MRP he will probably get 10 weeks.

I would not worry about anything this bloke thinks Winty. Just a s**t stirrer who is always trying to paint the GFC in a negative light.

SpryCorpse's response that SJ didn't hit him in the head, so has no case to answer should be the way these things are treated, but we know after the McPharlin bump on Darling that the tribunal doesn't agree. The positive for Johnson is that he hasn't been cited yet, let's hope it stays that way.
Insults, nice. On what basis do you make this "obvious" assessment? I imagine you're upset at my view of Darling and his staging tactics. When I was playing football we didn't tolerate that sort of dishonest behaviour from opposition players and if a player did that we would make sure that next time the opportunity arose we would crunch him good and proper.
