Well that'll be it for him I suspect

 

[Bluelegs]

Well I guess that answers the question in regards to a send off rule.

The Superfooty team at Dogs VFL game. Minson allegedly shoved ump in melee. Red-carded. Spoken to by Luke Beveridge on bench. Unseen since

Funny, on the same day that Kane Cornes retires.

Must be upset that he won't get the chance to sledge Kane about his family anymore.

Doesn't he study civil engineering?

But I digress. In serious trouble - pushing an umpire is pretty severe - I'm guessing it wasn't quite as severe as this however (10 year ban I believe?):

Maguire will be beside himself.

Chuck this in with impending Malthouse sacking and NOBODY will even mention Collingwood are on the gear.

 

[Cynic]

Need footage to compare to the Moore incident.

Legit, I didn't know we had a send off rule.

 

[Adz]

Surely its time to deregister this moron?
Oxygen thief.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Doesn't he study civil engineering?

Strikes me as a bloke that's spent 10+ years around morons (for the most part) and has a bit of an inflated sense of his own intelligence as a result.

 

[robertg22]

If I was an All Australian ruckman not getting a game ahead of Ayce Cordy I'd be pretty upset too!

Seriously though, what a moron.

 

[JUBJUB]

Legit, I didn't know we had a send off rule.

VFL does,AFL doesn't

 

[BF Tiger]

Some footage would be great to put into context, but on face value I'd think that might be season-ending (and possibly career-ending) for Minson. Greg Williams was suspended for 9 matches for pushing an umpire and I reckon that the AFL would look at a harsher penalty these days.

What the hell was the Umpire doing getting involved with a melee?

 

[SeaWind]

Have to laugh at all the idiots in this thread knee-jerking.

Andrew Moore pushed an umpire in the SANFL a few weeks ago and only got a 3 week suspension.

I'm not saying Will's incident was any better, but none of you morons have even seen what he did.

WILL Minson stands accused of pushing an umpire after being sensationally sent-off from a VFL game at Whitten Oval earlier today.

Minson was evicted from the field five minutes into the second quarter of Footscray’s game against North Ballarat after allegedly clashing with an umpire during a melee.

The out-of-favour ruckman was spoken to by Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge on the boundary line after being red-carded and hasn’t been seen since.


More trouble for the big man...

Minson's career is essentially done imo.

Not good for the Bulldogs as Cordy is a bang average footballer. I understand he may fit the Dogs gameplan but he's not very good. It would be interesting to see how the Bulldogs would go with a solid ruckman.
