not Harvey's fault Selwood is an easy bleeder... I hate Harvey with passion, but those blocks happen 100x a game. It's only got games cause it drew blood that he is missing a game.

All the players should know by now not to bump someone off the ball especially a guy who has carryover points.

Once again, the umpire got that wrong. It was a mark but paid the free kick, he reported him, so it should've been a 50m penalty.

 

[ozaddy]

Two weeks in a row he's done it now. Once on Franklin, once on Gray. Cited, cleared. Whoever he plays in R1 next year should wear a suit of armour.

Its the closest thing you will see to a coat hanger these days. I just cant fathom how he got away with it

Has any match day report this year been upheld by the MRP?

no, everyone has been thrown out.

How does Harvey only get one game? I thought it was double points for finals? Or is that only GF?

GF so as to prevent someone just walking up to Gray and Wingard and knocking them out, etc.

I just found another angle of Dawson's "genuine spoiling attempt"

Seriously, I know Fyfe is a more important player than Dawson, but if the MRP owed Freo one from the Fyfe suspension, it's well and truly been paid back here. It was a dead set clothesline.

Harvey should take the week. You can't jump into a player 15m off the ball, hitting him high and drawing blood, and expect to have no repercussions. What an insanely stupid move from a very experienced campaigner who should know better.

 

[faquito]

Seriously? Harvey jumped into him, hitting him in the head drawing blood roughly 15 metres off the ball.

Selwood can be a sooky campaigner but Harvey deserves everything he gets - was it 2012 when he had Wingard pinned down and punched/elbowed him in the jaw and wasn't even cited?

Exactly, he chose to bump Selwood off the ball. There are simple (unwritten) get out clauses for the head high contact like in the Viney situation where both players are legitimately contesting a ball. Harvey was LUCKY it was only a bleeding brow, worst case (or best case at the time for North) it's Selwood concussed and subbed out.

Zack Dawson got off.. No way that was a legitimate spoiling attempt. NO chance of spoiling that and 100% chance of collecting the head. Something that you could of got away with years ago, but I can't believe he got away with it. The commentators at the time was talking it down, but I thought they were being ridiculous. How did he expect to miss the head?

Had my doubts when watching that anything would come out of it. The MRP set a precedence in Round 1 with Westhoff getting his head ripped off by A.Walker.
Glad we kicked the goal, because if it was no 50m penalty + no suspension then there would have been outrage. The field umpire clearly made a mistake by not sending Gray to the goal line.

hahahahahaha

Harvey cops 1 week... the afl might as well send all players out in helmets from 2015 onwards.

Really hope the all fans start booing Selwood in the future.

Nah.....hate that campaigner Harvey. Rather boo that little prick than Selwood anyday of the week.

Now now, don't go reading through the at least 3-4 threads actively crying about Port at the moment, you might look obsessed

The defense of their absolutely embarrassing tweet is almost as cringeworthy as the tweet itself. It's like they hired subaru to run their twitter.

It's all about if you want to read about all things Port you have two options being on here or there!

SAVE BOOMER!!!

 

[Seanybruz]

Would rather Boomer had got off helping the Roos upset Sydney but get reported in that match & missing a GF meeting against us. North are slowly losing what little chance they had of beating the Swans, they might as well contest it even though it's a lost cause.

I knew Dawson would get off but I'm still angry as to why it didn't receive a 50m penalty, luckily for us Robbie had his kicking boots on that qtr.

 

[Doctor Feel]

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA. I just realised that this is an old press release but still funny.

I like the "(a registered trademark owned by the AFC)"

Only a plastic shitty corporation like that would trademark something so meaningless and horrendous.

Naah .. I thought it was a typically crude Zac Dawson effort, late & high. ... His fist missed Gray's head, but his arm caught him high. Deserved a 50m for it ... staggered that he didnt get it, but that's all IMO

 

[Oliver King]

Harvey should take the week. You can't jump into a player 15m off the ball, hitting him high and drawing blood, and expect to have no repercussions. What an insanely stupid move from a very experienced campaigner who should know better.

You would think so wouldn't you? But he's been doing things like this his whole career, then plays the victim card once he gets penalised.

 

[Vic_Vinegar]

Two weeks in a row he's done it now. Once on Franklin, once on Gray. Cited, cleared. Whoever he plays in R1 next year should wear a suit of armour.

For me Dawson clattering into Schulzy after he took the mark in the 4th for his goal was just as bad or worse. That campaigner is going to seriously hurt someone one day.

"Essendon's Goddard calls rival AFL clubs unethical"

Godard wasn't at Essendon in 2012, so I guess this claim is only a bit ironic.
