How many weeks for a deliberate trip?

If not for the trip he was going clear past the back of Duncan. The swinging leg and fast moving player have traditionally meant that it's a week, right? Both captains suspended from the same game perhaps.

Speaking of Neymar dives...

Look at him drop the knees, lift up his feet and take a dive after running into Gibbs!
At least he didn't roll around or lift his hands up to his face.

Selwood initiates as much contact as Gibbs and drops like a sack of spuds

A stain on the game, which makes it more infuriating because he is a good enough player that he doesn't need to stoop to such scum bag levels

Or maybe he isn't that good. He's just an slightly better than average player who attracts a lot of free kicks. Gets as much of the ball as any inside mid, doesn't do a whole lot with it if he's in traffic and doesn't get a free. Not super fit, not fast, not a better than average mark or kick for a mid with his experience. The only things that separate him from an average 200+ game midfielder are the ducks, dives, eye gouges, trips, stomps, sprig scrapes, and knee drops.

Selwood should definitely get a fine but won't. How many times was fletcher suspended for exactly this?

Cannot believe this replay was shown half a dozen times and not one commentator mentions it.
