The boundary umpire reported him, and he's got suspended for striking Brodie Holland. No video replay, and no other witnesses.
1 week suspension!
Harvey's never been suspended before.
Even worse, the poor St Kilda guy got 3 weeks for kicking, when Alessio stepped on his foot. I'd be very upset if I followed the Saints.

I think it sucks that they take the word of an umpire over the players (even if they do lie most of the time). Why does an umpire have more credibility than a player? Far be it from me to agree with Sam Newman, but when he says umpires are becoming bigger than the game itself, I agree. Not happy to lose our most damaging player on the flimsy evidence of a boundary umpire!

What are you upset about? Kicking can get 8 Weeks and he only got 3

It was more of a tap than a kick. I don't have a problem with him getting 1 week. But 3 weeks is an equal penalty to Rioli's hit on Simpson 50 metres off the ball.
I think he's really stiff, as there is no doubt that Alessio stepped on his foot, and he wanted to get him off. It could be argued that it was a reflex action.
Depending on what Stevo decides to do, Petrie could be our next captain. If he keeps improving at the rate he is, there will be no doubt. Very confident with the media too.Originally posted by benno87
He is our best player and as for Captain. It's between Boomer, Shagga and Simmo!
