LT still as polarizing player as ever.

 

[Groin guru]

Every other player - commentators: "nothing in that, he'll get off"

Lindsay - commentators: "past history. Hit him in the head"

I'd like to see a replay of that at a different angle. Looked weak as piss and like selwood was sandbagging it. More like "hey...look how tough i am, i don't need the stretcher".

Selwoods are a blight on the game. **** em.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Empty head Darcy commentates that Selwood was legged when he got tackled and dropped the ball.
Darc6 is an idiot and Selwood is given special privileges

 

[Groin guru]

That's Pickett on Krummel stuff.

I've seen bigger hits down at auskick. Selwood has been drinking his own bath water.

 

[Val Keating]

Did Joel complain to the umpire that “he hit me too”? ****en grass

 

[Firestarter]

Twitter replies at least don't assume he still plays for us... but they all hate him.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Lindsay's managed to condense all of his games at North into one game of pure Thomas extract.

 

[Samsquanch]

**** off Selwood. LT didn't even get him in the head. Watch Selwood come back on and finish the game and LT get 4 weeks..

Selwood's in trackies, but Ch7 have already told us Lindsay is getting weeks.

 

[Benno_900]

Fair bump IMO.

Suspended because it's Lindsay Thomas.

 

[Spitta09]

Darcy what a deadset w***er. Should not be anywhere near a mic the potato. Already burying lindsay's grave. Didnt even think the bump was that bad on the replay.

Selwood sure played it up that much.

The weak campaigner.

 

[Devington]

Meh. It looks worse because we don't see bumps like that anywhere near as often. MRP and rule changes have just made them too costly to even try because of the 'had other options', 'elected to bump' and 'duty of care' clauses. Pretty sure first contact was to the shoulder/arm, but **** me LT went in hard. Don't think he could have gone in much lower either.

He'll most like cop something for it but I have no idea what.

 

[Billy Not Really]

LT should just go out swinging and run up to the commentary box and smack Darcy right in the jaw before the final siren.

Can't be anymore reported than they want you to be and they're not gonna like him any more now he's at Port.

 

[year of the roo]

Poor half by LT. Only knocked out one Selwood and certainly got the lesser of 2 evils. Oh well still plenty of time to turn that around with one moment of magic.

Bonus points for getting Dangerfield too.

 

[Kangayroo]

I've seen bigger hits down at auskick. Selwood has been drinking his own bath Adelaide water.

EFA

 

[fusion]

Should also be a report for the contact to LT whilst he was on the ground.

 

[darko]

Fair bump IMO.

Suspended because it's Lindsay Thomas.

He ran past the ball.

 

[Devington]

He ran past the ball.

Doesn't change the fairness of the bump itself though. There are valid reasons to go past the ball and bumping. You can do that and not be penalised at all.

 

[koshari]

He ran past the ball.

He will go. Elected to bump took high.

 

[Benno_900]

He ran past the ball.

So what?

 

[Devington]

I must say though, more defence of LT on the main board than I was expecting.

 

[Boozeroo]

In Hobart last week, Darcy happened to run up the stairs to the commentary box past me just as the fireworks were going- gave him the old "It's OK Luke, it's just fireworks". got a puzzled look, probably got it in the 2nd quarter.

 

[Kangayroo]

I must say though, more defence of LT on the main board than I was expecting.

Dermott obviously doesn’t have a BigFooty account

BRERETON LEAPS TO LINDSAY THOMAS'S DEFENCE AFTER BUMP

HAWTHORN hard man Dermott Brereton has defender Lindsay Thomas for his high bump on Scott Selwood, declaring he doesn't believe there was any malice in the bump.

Thomas was playing his first game for the Power on Saturday night after being a late inclusion for young forward Todd Marshall but has found himself in hot water.

The bump will be heavily scrutinised by match review officer Michael Christian on Monday after it floored Selwood.

But while many were quick to calculate how many weeks Thomas will miss, Brereton leapt to the former Kangaroo's defence.

"He does turn his head to the ball ... he looks for where his opponent is and then he goes (for the bump)," Brereton said.

"In real time that looks bad but when you look at the slowed down verison, he's turning and looking to the ball.

"You are entitled to bump your opponent to keep them away from the ball and I believe that was his intention.

"He's looking there (at Selwood) and he's already turned looking for the ball just as contact is imminent."

If the bump is deemed intentional with medium impact to the head, he is looking at a two-match suspension, while international conduct with high impact is three-matches or more, including the possibility of a trip to the tribunal.

Brereton believes there is a case for it to be graded as careless but knows the penalty with take into account the medical report supplied by Geelong.

"I honestly think Lindsay wanted to put him out of the contest to win the ball, the same as the Cotchin issue (on Dylan Shiel from the preliminary final)," he told Fox Footy.

"I don't think there's a lot of malic in it but it does not look good.

"I'm on Lindsay's side a bit here. I don't think there's real malice in it that he wanted to go 'I've had enough of you and I want you out'.

"It might appear that way but I'm on Lindsay's side with this."

Selwood just blatantly interfered with a opponent in a marking contest and got away with it. #nicetobeloved
