Would never have been in the situation had Selwood stopped pulling on his legs, he'll get a week because of reputation.

Yeah but just because you're in that situation doesn't mean you need to go dropping knees on people. Doesn't matter who does it IMO either, gratuitous stuff like that should get you a week at minimum. Given Caddy got offered a week for something far more innocuous this surely deserves two at least.

Caddy incident is no comparison at all. Mackay was concussed, Selwood got up and kept playing, whether you like it or not, this is the factor they use to grade the "force" of the incident. It will essentially come down to whether they deem it intentional or careless. Intentional = 1 week, Careless = $$ fine.

If it is deemed careless, thats a disgrace, he was climbing all over him with his knees. Hes a pig.

I'm sorry but there's just no way you can justify dropping your knees into someone's face while they lay on the ground. Yes he pulled him down once, but the second knee-drop was completely intentional

I don't even want him to miss a week given I have him in draft, but lets be reasonable haha

Don't lie please, you're ranked 14th overall without Sicily and 8 of the 13 guys above you have him, you want him to miss :P


We will find out soon enough, seems like the non-owners say he'll miss and the owners say he'll be fine, what a surprise ;)

[batt]

Hope he gets off with a fine just to mess with y'all who hate his guts hahaha.

Hahaha he's awful and the defensive rookies are great, I want him to play! :P

I doubt they're going to consider that low impact given he dropped his knee and full weight of his body from height straight onto a player beneath him, even if Selwood did keep playing.

Intentional, Medium, Head = 2 weeks is my guess.

Verdict is in

James Parsons can accept $2000 sanction, striking D Howe.
James Sicily can accept 1 game, kneeing J Selwood.
Kaiden Brand can accept $1500 sanction, misconduct against T Hawkins.
Daniel Howe can accept $1500 sanction, misconduct against J Selwood.

1 week, needs to pull his flowering head in

1 week, needs to pull his flowering head in

Yes he does. His flowering hot head right in. Hopefully it's the only time this year. There's a long way to go so hopefully is the operative word.

let's be honest, we all knew what we were getting into when we picked him ... ;)

Like I said, whether you like it or not, the force of impact is determined by the "victim's" condition. No injury to Selwood = low impact.

Nonsense, hes trying to get up and impact the next contest and Selwood intetional grabs his leg to trip him off the ball. If the umpires were actually doing their job in this game Sicily wouldnt have needed to go on with.

Im a Selwood fan but he got exactly what he deserved, dropping the knees in is a bad look but it wasnt done with malice. What is he supposed to do? 'Thats alright Joel trip me when ever you want'. Pretty soft from Selwood to go on with it in the media, sour sportsmanship after the loss.

Compare this to some of Mumfords 'Accidents' over the last 5 that are intended to injure. I know what i'd prefer to be on the end of.

[quinny88]

Can't believe people are trying to justify it haha. It was a dog act plain and simple. And yes I have him in my team
