Also Selwood was also running towards Gibbs so is Gibbs expected to just let Selwood hit him? Oh wait, I forgot, Geelong rules say of course he should.

Yeah well can't expect much from a club that venerates a piece of garbage like Ablett

How the F did Gibbs get fined for that? FFS. This comp.
Christian graded Walker’s actions as “careless conduct with medium impact to the head”.
As expected it wasn't intentional but careless (as ball was in play), however, medium impact????.......Tuohy played the rest of the game (and had a good game), unless he will miss next week??? Dodgy medical report here???? It was low impact so no suspension.

Im fine with the 1 week for Tex but it's laughable that Gibbs gets a 2k fine for Selwood running into him and engaging in the contact. Should challenge that.

Yep this ^ - a week seems about right, no problem with it. But the Gibbs fine? Outrageous - need to fight that one.

More likely/possibly delayed concussion. He certainly looked groggy just after the collision.
Worth every cent.- the 2k fine, not the cost of challenging.
Will be interesting if he misses next week.....

Had to fine Gibbs. Otherwise they're admitting the unthinkable: That Selwood is a diving, staging campaigner

We should challenge the Gibbs fine, absolute garbage by a diving piece of ****. He didn't deserve the free kick for a dangerous tackle later on either.

Ralph on Fox added so many caveats when talking about it on Fox to make it clear he wasn't saying Selwood was staging even though he thought it really looked like he was.

Agreed, but it still sticks in my craw that Cotchin can cannonball into a dudes head and knock him out and nothing comes of it, or Selwood can land a flying elbow to the back of Mitchell’s head and nothing comes of it. Consistency is all I want, and we still don’t have it... and the Gibbs fine is utterly ridiculous. Must appeal.
Yes you can’t have the player the AFL promote as most courageous now being branded as the true ducking campaigner that he is
I would challenge both Gibbs and Tex at the tribunal
Zac didn’t even want to come off and was ready to go again 5 min after being forced off, the grading should have been low impact

Great result with Tex only getting 1 week, much better than I thought. Would be curious to see what the loading would have been had Tuohy been KO'd.
Gibbs getting anything is super soft, guessing he winded Selwood but that was just a bump in the sweet spot, don't see the issue.

1 week. It was worth it as it sparked the guys up.
Also think Tex can do with a rest.

100% challenge. It was a shoulder bump, no swinging arm. Nothing in it. Selwood should be charged for diving.

This.
Unsociable football comes at a cost sometimes. We should be willing to pay it, totally worthwhile.

It would be interesting to see other incidents that have been deemed medium impact compared to Tex’s. I thought he’d get a week as soon as he did it, given Touhy looked concussed. But once he came back on and played with seemingly no ill effects, I got optimistic about Tex’s chances of getting off.

2k for Gibb's love tap? They're setting the game up for the women to play. Unbelievable!

Murphy cited and assessed for dangerous tackle?! I assume thats the one where Selwood employed the Steeplechase lessons Blicavs had given him and tried to jump over the tackle which was what caused the action?

Just had a quick look and Gray was suspended for a week for careless, medium impact when he knocked out McGovern with the following hit.
Plus, Natanui got a week for careless, medium impact to head for his tackle that concussed Amon. While there does seem to be a provision to upgrade a charge from low to medium impact if there was potential for serious injury, I’ve got a feeling that Tex might be the first to get done for medium impact to the head where there wasn’t a concussion to the opposition player...
