MRP: James Sellar Charged

[Vader]

... with making negligent contact with an umpire. $2600 fine, less 25% for an early guilty plea. End result, $1950 out of pocket.

Nothing to see here, move along folks.

Cox fells the ump and didnt get charged?

Id like to see footage of Sellars incident to gauge my reaction.

Expensive night out for Sellar. I didn't see that one. Do you know what quarter? I'm going to watch the replay tomorrow so will look out for it.

yet a few years ago (2007) Ottens didnt get in trouble for taking a specky over the goal umpire

double standards

Should've made it worth his while and hit him harder.

 

[WALL-e]

Fire up Jim.

Should get off because Ivan was just showing him some wrestling moves, Jim got too into it and took the ump down.

Ivan laughed.

meh, stupid AFL and these rules.

**** me they've gone sensitive on this one this year Ever since the Heath Shaw BS

I'm suprised (not because i thought it was a reportable offence, just because of the way things are going lately) McLeod's bump wasn't looked at. I'm very impressed with McLeod this year (off topic i know) - really makes a physical presence on the field compared to other years.

 

[Coopers]

Gotta feel a little sorry for the guy, he can't be earning that much money yet, and that's a hefty whack.

Soft by the umpires.

Pay the money and move on...Really it is the AFL's version of the Parking Fine. I am not sure what message it give to junior footy players who can see with their own eyes it was accidental.

maybe the AFL want to entrench further the idea that umpires are too soft to play.
