Re: MRO Thread
I get that Toby Greene's hit on Dangerfield will be scrutinised by the MRO, but it appears that somehow Selwood's hit on a player has once again been swept under the carpet. How does he do it? Was it just because Taylor got up, and continued to play ? Its about time the intention was judged, not just the outcome.

Re: MRO Thread
Selwood's a dirty player and always has been, but it's getting worse as he comes to grips with that step he's lost.
Only silver lining of him likely escaping suspension is that it doesn't really impact on Geelong's chances of winning or losing.

Breaking: GWS star Toby Greene offered a 2 match ban for elbow on Dangerfield. Careless, high contact, high impact. Giants will challenge at tribunal. Joel Selwood escapes with $3000 fine for bump on Taylor.

Re: MRO Thread
Unbelievable. Greene gets a 2 match ban for a fend-off yet Selwood gets a fine for a purposeful and negligent bump to the head. Absolute garbage!

Re: MRO Thread
Why expect anything more from this system. Don’t hurt a Geelong player with a natural footy action. And how dare you hurt a Geelong player by putting your unprotected head into his hip & elbow.

Who is advising the AFL to continue to deliver verdicts based on outcomes of the victims rather than intent? Imagine trying to shoot a bunch of people but getting away with a fine because I was such a bad shot and missed everyone.

I am not saying I agree, but that is the current rule and the reason Selwood could not get more.
GWS are appealing the verdict.

But isn't that what happens in society? Do you get the same sentences for murder and attempted murder?
Now I actually think they should look at intent more at the tribunal, but outcomes have to form a large part of the assessment.
TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

Well yeah I suppose. But maybe not to the same extremes. If Taylor got concussed, how many weeks does Selwood get. Edit: if Taylor got concussed and it was another player other than Selwood who did the bump, how many weeks is it?

Re: MRO Thread
As much as I hate Green I think he's pretty stiff. Dangerfield slipped as he came in to tackle which caused the contact to his throat. Grubby Green is still guilty of raising the elbow however he would've elbowed his chest had Dangerfield not slipped. Oh well too bad Toby
Selwood makes me sick, not surprised one bit he got off with a fine. Hopefully he's one to count his pennies and the $3000 really hurts
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

I guess Sam Taylor’s black eye would indicate some force of some degree.

The black eye for Taylor looked more like something from the previous week.
