Exactly the same as Fyfe's. Probably will get the "finals discount" but don't see how they could call it insufficient force...

Well this is where the AFL can eat their decisions, its a no win situation.
I absolutely hate Boomer, but if he goes for that AFL MRP needs a massive overhaul. That said he has to go, there's no way around it unless they choose to make a way around it.

Not sure if I want him gone of left to be belted by Sydney. Dog of a player
The outcry for Fyfe getting rubbed out for two weeks for that bump is the exact reason why they'll hide under the "insufficient force" defence in letting Boomer off. Going to be an absolute mess either way.
Not quite the same..... bump was not in play. Selwood could not have reasonably expected contact. At least Fyfe collected a player that had the ball.Exactly the same as Fyfe's. Probably will get the "finals discount" but don't see how they could call it insufficient force...

IMO, the news should be worse for Boohoomer. If he plays again this season, then we know this MRP is a trainwreck and blatantly biased. There is no wriggle room here and the footy world should be disgusted if he gets off.
Remember also that Gil made that statement a couple of weeks ago that the Fyfe decision was correct and that no change in policy for this sort of contact had been made.
Everyone cried with Fyfes bump and now we want to hang someone else for something similar. The MRP don't use precedents so there's hope for Boomer.
