Back in the old days he would have a "welcoming committee" waiting for him

We will all find out tonight oldfella.
Rumored that it will be done over the phone or an undisclosed location,

Rumoured to be from the remand centre.
I am told that it was suppose to take place last night but Lionel was still feeling unwell as a result of the incident and as Tasman said, it will take place tonight.
Fair enough, just relaying the information that was passed on to me. I wasn't aware there was any information on the website.

totally disagree slow legs, harvey is spoon fed all his goals with only a few absolute genius acts. personally thought dow was the best player all year from watching the creek games this year, but a huge congrats to rohan on the huge effort backing it up from div 3 best and fairest form last year.
To get on the front foot...
Paul Harrison pleaded guilty to rough conduct tonight and received an 8 match suspension.
Paul and the Whittlesea Football Club are absolutely adamant that this incident was not pre-meditated. It was a spur of the moment bump that had terrible consequences. Paul accepts responsibility for this and will attempt to contact Lionel Proctor in the coming days now that the tribunal hearing has occurred.
Talk of an "behind the play" hit, king-hit or elbow is completely off the mark and totally irresponsible. These rumours have added fuel to an already serious fire.
We have decided to post the footage of the incident on our Facebook Page to put to rest those exact rumours - https://www.facebook.com/whittleseaeagles
This is the last that I will comment on the incident and situation.
Cheers,
JC

Well said just watched the vision and no elbow or king hit at all end of the story.

Thanks for providing the footage Jarrod. I'm still not sure what to make of it, speaking with the media team on Monday night and they thought it looked worse on slow motion but I actually thought it looked worse in fast motion. Seems to be a bump which went wrong and then the elbow was raised, slow motion made it a tad easier to pinpoint it.
I think what's been done is done and I think it's time to move on to the showpiece event this weekend.

To me it looks like a bump that went wrong, not behind play and the elbow comes up after contact, good on Harro pleading guilty but from what I just watched it was not as bad as some have been making out, yeah a bloke was in a bad way and that's why he was guilty but it looks not as bad as I though it would.
Some of the comments posted by people still were pure acid to quote a phrase,
There are none so blind as they who will not see.
Simple meaning even after they posted the footage some people are still blind to the truth it was a bump gone wrong.
With the claim that penalties are doubled in finals, it would mean he did receive 4 weeks.
The footage wasn't clear enough and on the wrong angle, the moment of contact (whether he got him with the shoulder or elbow) was still up to interpretation to me.
He made the decision early that he was going to lay the bump, which is no great crime but he is liable for the result.
I totally agree the point I was making, Whittlesea had to take it off their facebook page because of the venom in comments posted by some people who still thought it was different. I wonder if it had been reversed and been a Stars Player that delivered that bump, would there have been the same venom on the net.

The fact he raised an elbow or not is not even the main point. The outcry and outrage and comments made on social media by stars fans was a total over reaction. Claims of a king hit and so forth were totally overreaction. He clearly knows he did wrong and pleaded guilty (probably even more for the fact of the hostilities between both clubs) and a bit of a peace offering from Whittlesea.
8 weeks for that is over the top but if double penalties apply then that means he would get 4 and that is closer to the mark. I think 3 weeks (double = 6) would have been fairer.

8 weeks is way over the top. Didn't even look that bad. Maybe 2-3 weeks. Was he reported and sent off during the game?

The best footage available. A lot of heart ache could have been spared if this was released sooner.
Encouraging to see that his elbow was not lifted at the point of contact.

great footage. looks like a "fair" bump. It was head high and did deserve a punishment but deffintely not as horrible as described by some people.
