Nup, common misconception. His carry-over points expired around Round 5 I think. Whatever the decision is, it will be solely based on the severity, intention and effect of the hit - and an early plea if he chooses the option.

Judging from the suspensions handed out in recent weeks, I think 2 is the likely result.
One or two but either way he will be back for the blockbuster against the Pies.
reprimand with an early guilty plea. And i cant wait to read all the whinging posts on here and when its announced.
Honestly, I think it was a pretty soft call from the ump. Free kick, sure, but not reportable. He never deviated to hit him. Selwood put his head in Adam's path. True, he could've avoided him by deviating, but why would he?

I thought the same thing. He will get suspended, no doubt. They are really cracking down on this at the moment. I expect two weeks, which should be fine.
We can do without him against the Saints and particularly the Demons. But, we'll need him back against Collingwood. Might not be a bad thing him having a rest in the leadup to that game. We will need a big performance from him.
He will have 3 weeks off basically with the week off before the Collingwood game.
In my opinion this is what should happen.
Goodes will be charged with low level impact as the initial contact was to the shoulder and Selwood was not hurt in any way.
This maybe could take him over 100 pts and with a guilty plea would be able to play this week.
GOODES HAS NO carry over points as the 73.5 he had expired in Round 5 and as his last 2 reports have been thrown out he is now on NIL points.
If it wasn't for the mass hysteria in the Melbourne press he wouldn't have a case to answer,but idiots like David Schwartz on TV and Radio will keep having a go.

From that You Tube footage it was a plain dumb act. Why didn't he tackle him. He had kennelly to his left and Selwood had little WCE support. A decent tackle could have got a HTB decision or at least a Kennelly clearance. What people miss is that it cost us a goal.
Did you see Kerr run in, push Goodes to the back and then run away. Only ever is a sniper the gutless little t*rd.

I think he was going for a bump on the shoulder and it more or less slid to the head. If the events of the past couple of weeks hadn't of had happened, he wouldn't have a case to answer, but the AFL has made its stance on contact with the head very clear, intentional or not. I like the 1 week thing. Maybe miss out the Saints match to rest up, come back and find his groove in the Melbourne match and kill it against Collingwood like last year.

Don't I look like a tool. A very nice suprise on a dreary Monday night
The 600+ posts in the Goodes thread on the mainboard makes it even better.
I couldn't believe some of the malicious, ignorant, vindictive, hysterical comments posted there. They make Hannibal Lecter look like an angelic choir boy. I wonder if they actually eat their own?
Ummm....because in this day and age it's illegal! Stupid post!

Understood that there is a danger of doing the analysis to death...just a couple of quick observations....
1. In earlier times (90's for example) Goodes bump would not even have raised an eyebrow...(and rightly so as far as I am concerned)...
2. Nowadays....the most popular catch phrase is "the head is sacrosanct"....dribble dribble....
3. Recently players from teams (including the one I follow) other than Sydney have been found guilty of offences and suspended where they have infringed on the oppositions "head" (which as we know is sacrosant....see observation num 2)....
Based on these points, Goodes infringed on the opposition's head, he knows it, we know it, Roo's knows it, you all know it.... and essentially we are all looking for a "consistent" finding....it didn't happen on this occassion.....so deal with it....
If I followed Sydney, my response would be...."yeah, he infringed, yeah we got away with it....I'll get Kleenex to send some tissues over to those who can't deal with it..."

yeah
slo-mo does make it look bad
but i honestly thought at least a week, probably 2
but i think he only got offered only 125 points for it because it was said to be
high contact
reckless contact
LOW IMPACT
goodesy probably couldve either tried to jump outa the way of the player or put his head over the footy
we are just thankful that selwood wasnt seriously hurt

Omg some of the stuff on the main boards is awesome! Some if it is very malicious though. I'm stoked he got away with it. As for the whingers...hang on a sec while I call you a WHAAAAAMBULANCE.

Completely agree.
I think he was very lucky to receive a week so I've been fairly quiet on the issue. It's a sad state of affairs though when you watch the replay and think that people expect to see a 2-3 week penalty for that sort of stuff these days. A few years ago this is what would get you 3 weeks;

Best I've seen went something like... "This disgraceful dog should hand back his brownlows and premiership medallions and retire. He is a blight on our game".
