You shouldn't miss a final because of that.


I agree, but that is the rule.

The rule needs to be changed, so that incidental head to head contact does not attract a penalty. If he'd collected Selwood with his shoulder or elbow, even accidentally, then I'd be in favour of a suspension, but not when it's a clash of heads. Seriously, Selwood is a sook and a lagger. Just hope he doesn't win the bloody brownlow.


It's not accidental, it's negligent, given the choice to bump.

I think the logic of the rule is sound. A player engaging in a dangerous act (a bump), needs to take every care not to do damage to his opponent. If as a result of his choice to bump there is a head clash then that is his responsibility.


I know it's negligent and I agree that the logic of the rule is sound. However the rule is stupid, given the nature of footy. A game where players are encouraged to crash and bash into each other in fierce competition for the ball cannot apply the usual rules of negligence unless we want the game to become more like basketball. IMO incidental head contact should not be covered by this rule.

I probably agree with you. The difficulty would come when a player is concussed or has his jaw broken in an incidental head clash caused by a player bumping negligently.

You don't choose to bump with your head.

You do that with your shoulder and Harvey's shoulder made legitimate contact.

An accidental clash of heads in this circumstance was just pure bad luck and Harvey himself could have easily come off worse in that contest.

although this rule will change next year,harvey left the ground and there was head contact,but what really irks me is the afl/s stance on protecting the players head, which is a must, but then allows a player to have heaps of oil on his arms and then lift his arm up so his opponent then slips up his arm and hits his head result free kick, i know we,ve always had rubber necks, and selwood now has most sides with at least one or two players following suit,including young G WS boys, this should now be the same as ducking your head =no free , then it may save all clubs a lot of money in bandages

Payback for when Lindsay Thomas collected one of our players (Reid?) with his noggin and Bucks called him out as being 'poor' or some other phrase implying negligence and he got off.
BTW Pebbles and Jason Cloke say hi, Carmen was before my time.

Come on, Sydney would smack the living hell out of North even with Boomer in the side.

If you want to look for a conspiracy theory then you're surer bet would be to analyze who Boomer hit.

So he should be free to play. Just because he touched the umpires little darling doesn't mean he deserves to be rubbed out for a Prelim. Plenty worse than Boomer's non hit has got off in September.
