McGovern goes down just after Tex kicks the first goal of the game. Not great video of it though so may not be that incident.

That's crap, he should contest that, $1000 is a lot of money for a struggling footballer

Exact same scenario then I think common sense prevails. If it were Hodge then his past history would warrant a game suspension.

I think the fine is fair. Clearly no intent, but it was careless given the conditions (wet - easy to slide into the post) and the proximity to the post.

We need virtual posts, electronically generated posts that players can run though. It could also detect ball passing through post.

Ehh...seems reasonable enough to me.
Although to be fair he actually predicted the fine saying it should be no more than a fine.Rooch is going to be really pissed off his hard sleazy work didn't pay off!
Needs to be sent a caution for attacking our post.

Just watched this on channel 7 news. McGovern shoves Wood with a forearm (nothing in it) and Wood hits him with open hand to lower back. Force appeared negligible but for some reason McGoven drops to his knees, presumably for a free kick. Bizarre ruling but never surprised with MRC. Staggered club hasn't challenged it.
I can't find any vision of it, but why would you even tempt the MRP having been pinged twice already this year? Third time, so he gets a game.

Try https://www.foxsports.com.au/video/afl and the video "Busy Week for AFL MRP", after Greenwood's elbow on Merrett.
Looks like it's a strike with the heel of Wood's hand.

In context with McGovern initiating the contact, I think Wood's reflex action is very unlucky. Seemed nothing in it.

I'm not a doctor, but I don't think that's a reflex action.
And sure, it might be on the lighter end of scale, but based on the MRP over the past month that's a strike any day of the week. Players have been warned many times that jumper punches and punches behind play with be judged harshly, since Cotchin hit Neale and then Hawkins hit Crouch.

Where did wood hit him and where was he in relation to Mclovin who gave him the starting forearm shove?

Hit him to the lower back. Footage here.

Hit - another word for strike which is what he was charged with "Easton Wood, Western Bulldogs, has been charged with striking Mitch McGovern, Adelaide Crows, during the first quarter of the Round 16 match between the Western Bulldogs and the Adelaide Crows, played at Adelaide Oval on Friday July 7, 2017.
In summary, as a third classifiable offence this season, he can accept a one-game sanction with an early plea.
Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from the Adelaide Crows Football Club, the incident was assessed as intentional conduct with low impact to the body. This was a third classifiable offence for the season, and therefore the player is subject to a one-match sanction with an early plea."
Doesn't matter where he hit him, he hit him and it was the third time so the one game sanction was appropriate because it was the third one. BTW Charlie Cameron for us is on his second offence and if he does it a third time he will also get a game and deservedly so because he has had the two warnings to cut it out.
