Clumsily! Good grief.

Why can't we just call out dirt bags as dirt bags? Things would be so much easier and you'd eventually end up with less dirt bags doing dirt bag things.

The AFL won't do anything because Selwood is one of their golden boys. But two incidents of him scraping his fingers along the eyes of someone on the ground and clearly intentionally standing on someone's ankle is inexcusable.

He has to go for this. Its just so cheap and shit and pathetic.

3000 in fines overall. For gouging two different players faces when he already has a demonstrated track record of doing it.

What a joke. Dirty friggin dog.

Pathetic. Won’t act as a deterrent to cheap shots. The same amount as “engaging in a melee” where players come in and push and shove.

Swept under the rug. Very on brand…

You can gouge someone's face, step on their shin and make it bleed and you get a fine, yet if you tackle someone you get a week.

AFL is just *!*!*!*!ed by the morons that run it

It's a joke. Dog acts like hitting someone in the head when they are on the ground and defenseless is just a fine. Straight lining the ball in a genuine contest gets sent straight to the tribunal.

What message are we sending to our children?

Just a fine for Saint Joel the Sly. Look away handball - tick. Look away tread on an opponent's shin anyone - tick. Our boy from Bendigo is full of tricks. Claw at an opponent's face when he's trapped beneath you and the umpire's blind-sided. What's the issue? Cats got claws don't they?

Yeah if the head is sacrosanct, this decision is pretty annoying.
I would have liked to see a fine around 7K for the face, same as the Green decision.
3K for that is basically getting off for free.
Does this rule him ineligible for the Brownlow?
I'm glad social media can highlight what a dirty player he is.
Anyone who has watched footy over the years has seen plenty of that from Selwood.

Just on the message to the kids, isn’t Saint Joel a NAB little league ambassador??? Yeah great message, should have chosen a solid upstanding citizen for that role like Bont maybe.

Deliberate calculated abuse of fellow footballers by Selwood.
Deliberate and calculated by Selwood = very bad character.
The AFL honchoes know this and support it.
Selwood + AFL honchoes = Disgrace to football.
There is only a pretence of duty of care.
Acts of cowardice.

Also, the standing on Duryea's leg happened right in front of the umpire and was immediately pointed out by Doc, whose leg began bleeding. A 50 metre penalty should have been awarded. Scores were level, in a tight match like that who knows what difference it might have made.

I thought the leg thing was clumsy but not deliberate. Raking Doc's eyes just before that is a different story.
