Clarry will not let a broken thumb rule him out and break his consecutive games streak. He’ll play against Port

No bloody words for that sniper! 

Christ I've spent the day grumpily doomscrolling through the Luke Jackson thread and now this to top it off. Ugh. Hoping he doesn't miss, though 1 week not end of the world. There are bigger games than Port next week in the run home.

So what do you think of Selwood?

Buckley chance of that happening. I still remember the Cats ruckman Steven King rearranging Jeff White’s facial structure with a wild flying boot at a high loose ball. He missed the ball but managed to kick Jeff full on while Jeff at 195 cm was standing nearby. Careless, high Severe injury but no ramifications then.

Shouldn’t  Selwood be cited for this? It was reckless, dangerous and caused injury that could force Clarry out to recover. He should get a couple of weeks for what he did.

That’s only for head knocks I believe.

I would get a lifetime ban if I told you what I really think about this club and their captain. 

I can’t stand Selwood but anyone who thinks this is deliberate is clearly delusional. It was a footy act. Stupid and careless yes, and the free was paid. 
 

If we play them again, then we will remember.

He’ll play against Port

This will be only the second game Goodwin has coached without Oliver and the other one he was coaching Essendon.

#$^#%#$ you Selwood. Wasn't even a close to the ground kick.

Selwood's a dirty dog.

Someone on this forum wrote last week when he signed on for 7 years that he never gets injured. You cursed him

Of course he didn’t deliberately kick the hand (or impossible to prove otherwise) but surely it is graded as careless etc.

I also remember that as one of the worst acts I have seen on the field. It was beyond careless- there was malice in it.

Crap news that Clarry is injured. Lucky it’s just the one week. Chance for some other kids to stand up and win the hard ball against Port. Viney might have another huge game.

Not an intentional malicious act by Selwood but a soft**** one none the less. Hopefully this doesn’t cost Oliver the Brownlow

How can you play properly with a broken thumb?

Just another reason to hate geelong even more.

They'll probably win it

Hope he gets up with the 10 day break. Hell, even sub him so his game streak continues

Ask Clarry. Got like 11 contested possessions after Selwood broke it. 
The guy is a freak. 

Ch7 reported just bad bruising and no games missed on the news. Thanks a lot crap nuts

If Mark Thompson was still coaching Geelong he’d be blaming Oliver’s thumb for trying to break Selwood’s foot.

Hopefully it’s just the one week and we can adequately cover him for the Port game.

A shame he has to break his 130 game streak due to a reasonably careless reckless, negligent, failing in duty of care, kick from Selwood.

1990 Darren Millane.  Played the last month of the season with it.  Every game he re broke it. Plastered it up during the week, played the next game with it strapped up.  Never been a fan of anything black and white but that was the most amazing thing I've ever seen.  He was still marking the ball and playing incredible footy.  Was a huge reason they broke the 32 year drought.  Oliver has Millane - like courage.

If he loses by 1 vote there will be outrage! If a kicking in danger free was paid, why wouldnt the match review panel charge Selwood with reckless and negligent conduct causing injury? Clarry misses a week, so too should Selwood.😡
