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

Well clumsy things (stumbling over a player who’s marked or not pulling up in time) still attract a 50, but I also think his step back wasn’t exactly accidental. You’re standing over a player whose legs are underneath you - you should have an inkling where they are, but I admit I always want to believe the worst of Selwood and he rarely lets me down

You're probably right but there is some reasonable doubt. He's a complete grub though, and it's ridiculous how inflated his reputation is given the off ball sniping, umpire whinging and ducking he gets away with.

DURYEA ON THE SELWOOD INCIDENT: As Chris Scott said, sometimes we have to own up to our mistakes. He owned up to the first one but I think Chris is trying to make an excuse for the second one. No hard feelings and just have to move on and cop your punishment. No hard feelings

Scott has tried to defend Selwood: read here

Scott sounds like a parent defending his little angel who can do no wrong when everyone knows the kid is a little sh*t.

Selwood has a history of this stuff. Scott is blind to it.

A whole lot of stumbling going on apparently. And mistakes.

He was the third one in when Dale went to ground. You can see the furtive look on his face as he goes in with his hand.

Poor Joel’s the victim though. So misunderstood.

We should clumbsly leave him subbed off in the first 5 mins next time we play them.

Thought he’d have to go for the eye gouge. Joke.

It was definitely intentional.

Coach should have a go at him for not tackling

[divvydan]

It's the same as De Goey on Oliver and got the same outcome.

I can't even remember the Bailey Smith tackle, was it fine worthy?
