Sniper Whitecross offered 1 week for cheap shot shoulder charge on Selwood

[Neville Bartos]

Gee, Whitecross even cradled Selwood's head to make sure he wasn't dead.

Selwood's going to break his neck one day for being so "courageous" when the simple reality is he only does it to earn a free kick. He's a bloody champion player who's good enough to win the ball without the umpire's help (and he's shown that many times) but he won't be helping his team much if he's in a wheelchair.

That's the way Selwood plays, and the way he admits to playing for the sake of free kicks.

Sorry, but reality bites.

Sorry but it's 8 IN A ROW BIATCH

 

[Catswin12]

Nothing in it.

If Selwood did that to Whitecross it wouldn't even be looked at.

I was expecting 3 weeks at least..

FWIW the tribunal system is a joke.

Yes, absolutely proven beyond a doubt with your nice red card after yesterdays choke. Man up you ****ing cry-baby ffs...

5 weeks if it was a Richmond player.

I'm not joking either.

I have to agree, he just doesnt know fear. He is like john brown...heart of a warrior. I think Lewis was doing it in the first half and selwood in the second.

both just throwing themselves in as if they where invincible.

I hope he doesnt do himself a permanent injury.

Don't worry no one would notice.

I wonder if the @afl could be more out of touch with the fans. @BrendanWhiteX and @joelselwood14 played the ball. #freewhitecross

 

[rdhopkins2]

Selwood is a great player (when he isn't drawing frees) & gutsy but in this case it's pure accident and the umpire is quite right-play on. Should not be 2 weeks (1 with early plea) and not even be looked at. Hawthorn will rightly appeal and common sense will prevail.

Some sanity prevailed and he was cleared. Nice work OP

Whitecross' effort was a dogs act, can't believe the amount of people who have missed the intent in his act, he knew exactly what he was doing, thought he'd be getting weeks not a free pass!

Ya right, should have got at least 4 weeks for failing to take the head ducker out.

You have amazing insight and knowledge of the game. you should run the AFL!!

Perhaps he'll get a reduction next time he's in front of the MRP as a thank you gesture for sending a warning shot to Duckwood.

Tassie would be better without the crab.

Tassie would be better without the crab.

And yet he's shown himself to be a better player than Masten.

Not in 2012.

Only time I noticed this fellow was when he bumped Selwood.

Where does he play?

Judging by your posts, I'd believe that.
