He'll get off on insufficient force...which is completely correct but a disgrace given past events...
Harvey Gone?

Doesn't deserve to be suspended even in H&A for that, let alone miss a Prelim for it. Neither did Fyfe, but there's no way that can be changed now anyway. Is it possible it can be referred straight to the Tribunal so then it doesn't have to go through the MRP grading system and then get him just a warning?
If he does miss next week though, he's only got himself to blame. Just silly.

Other than "Insufficient Force" that would be the only way he could get off
He is gone, you can't change the rules now this late in the season.

Based on what? The vibe of the thing? Everything points to him getting a ban based on the current laws and previous suspensions for the same thing.
He's gone unless Selwood's cut was caused by previous contact, then he might get away with insufficient force.
If the Fyfe incident had never happened, no-one would be unhappy if he got off on insufficient force. As it stands, I'd say it would mostly only be Freo fans that would be upset if he got away with no suspension. And perhaps some less-than-confident Swans fans.
Yeah, but the two reports were for remarkably different infringements and do you REALLY think that this incident deserves a week off (if you disregard the unfair suspension put onto Fyfe)?

Basically, yes. The tribunal have the authority to throw out punishments they feel are not warranted, even if they are there by the letter of the law.
Oh please ffs.

Of course it doesn't deserve a week... it deserves 2!
Nah, no way this type of stuff should get done, but as stated the MRP have made their bed with the Fyfe decision and they had the opportunity to say they got it wrong, but stuck to their guns.

Great...nice if them it start now...
My feeling is that they'll use this decision (allowing Harvey to play) to be their way of saying "we were wrong" without ever actually having to admit that they were wrong with the Fyfe suspension. I'd rather them make the right decision now, then make the wrong decision just to make a previous wrong decision appear right.

Nothing in it- Tom HArley's bias does it again!!
Every other commentator -inititally- brushed it off as nothing- but Harley had to be a w***er.
Then he goes on again at the end-about Fyfe- and people wanting consistency from the MRP
Such poor sportsmanship- HArley is the Ray Chamberlain of commentating!!
Again the umps almost gave cats a win- the cheating is ridiculous!

Don't think you're anywhere close to being in before.

Can't possibly be let off for insufficient force - drew blood and forced Selwood off the ground - twice - to stem the bleeding.

I don't think the review panel will take lightly to the fact that the player has come back from a misconduct matter and again acts in a similar silly way. Will either get given a holiday or get given a free trip to the tribunal.

he was already bleeding before the head clash with Harvey.watched it again on the AFL site, should be insufficient force IMO
Ridiculous if he gets done by MRP, but then again was similiar to Fyfie's. Cant see MRP not punishing harvey though as it would bring up the fyfe's incidident.
