Berry on Oliver

[sageslayer]

Never seen a more cut and dried decision

1 Week

Next

1 week, can clearly see what his intentions were. Grubby act that has no place in the game. Expecting that the Lions will get their usual discount at the MRO though and it’ll be nothing so Oliver will probably get fined and the grub will get let off.

Careless and not unreasonable contact considering Oliver was on top of him, a fine at most.

Both actions were "purely accidental", of course.... Just "one of those things" (or two of those things) which sometimes occurs when Joel is angry.

no evidence or claims that he eye gouged

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Berry on the ground in a vulnerable position with Oliver with his forearm in his throat and pushing his head down. Berry trying to get Oliver off him and (1) has limited use of his arms (2) has limited vision of Oliver. I don't see how you get done for this when you're the vulnerable person and you're just trying to get him off.

I also don't see why what Berry did is worse than a player having their weight and forearm in your throat.

simple solution is both should get suspended.

why should berry get off for deliberately looking to eye gouge because of the equally bad action of oliver?

lol in not one of those clips did he eye gouge. he is guilty of slapping players faces. not sure how far that goes in a suspension critera

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Careless contact to the face. Sweet * all malicious intention there, he's pinned to the ground and trying to get the bloke off him. Fine and move on.

that is a load of crap. he had his arms free to push or shove oliver in the side or push his arms away, yet he deliberately went for the face and eyes.

this is a suspension by the laws of the book. Olivers actions are irrelevant, and it appears people are trying to claim it is ok to eye gouge as long as there is a big bad meanie hurting me.

 

[The Flying Belgian]

choking him out? not sure what photo you're looking at. he doesn't even have a arm on his neck. chin/upper chest at best.

Now I ain't got no fancy medical degree, but I would swear that the body part between the the chin and upper chest is the neck.

 

[Hoops]

But they want it to be true sooooo much. Chewy even keeps videos of Selwood to to show his obsession.
Selwood's no angel, but there is carryon even in threads not about him is something to behold.

 

[Danger Zone]

Would be an absolute farce if it was anything more than a fine. Not seeing many people saying it's a suspension except Dees and Cats fans.

 

[iBeng]

Certainly a fine, not intentional contact, Oliver clearly instigated it after getting shitty about losing the clearance, Berry wants him off.

 

[Atavistic]

I think a lifetime ban for Berry and scrubbing Joel Selwood's name from all records will suffice.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

simple question. should eye gouging be a suspension if there is proof they eye gouged?? or is eye gouging ok as long as another player is wrestling or ontop of you?

my point of view is simple, eye gouging is a suspension period then you look at the action of the other player and suspend if necessary.

If we have taken the stance that players with under a second to choose an action are responsible for a bump that leaves a player concussed, then surely a player is held responsible for there much more thought out choice to eye gouge.

it is because they are playing geelong this weekend and the entire footy world is going nuts hoping for a brisbane upset.

Geelong is currently the most hated team in the AFL because we have not dropped down the ladder and are such a well run club. Simples

 

[mumblingpie]

Hopefully it’s only a fine but this has 1 week suspension written all over it

 

[mumblingpie]

Should have pushed his face with an open palm, not bent this fingers, it’s definitely an eye gouge but I want him to play on Selwood next week

 

[Hollow Knight]

Lions will certainly appeal any suspension and will have an excellent case.

 

[STPer18]

1 week.

 

[Hollow Knight]

1 week.

Appeal. The intentional grading is profoundly debatable.

Also show up with a montage of Selwood gouges that were uncited.

 

[GastevsBeard]

presume the one week factored in that Brisbane are playing the AFLs favourite son Geelong this week. What a horrid decision going into a big preliminary final. Especially when you consider the extenuating circumstance of having a forearm crushing his throat

 

[iBeng]

1 week.

We'll use the Selwood defense, it'll be fine.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Jesus that's stiff. Bloke on top of him initiating the contact with a forearm to the face. Umpires do their ****ing job and it doesn't get that far.

Full permission to role out the old Vic centric whinge to build pressure on the result.

 

[Mister B]

1 week.

Funnily enough in the VFL Robinson did what Oliver did and had a free kick paid against him. It was paid almost immediately. Another example where if the umpire did their job, a player would not have been suspended. Having said that, Brisbane challenges, says he was panicked because he couldn’t breathe and was wildly trying to get the player off. Intentional gets dropped to careless.

 

[1990crow]

VFL bias at its finest.
