SEVERE PROVOCATION

The Panglossian
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Headland getting a reprieve on the grounds of severe provocation from comments Sellwood never made reminds me of the Seecamp/Peirce incident at Princes Park about 8 yrs ago.

Seekers took a mark at full-back. Brad Pierce came to the contest too late , couldn't compete, so punched him in the testicles.

Seecamp reacted reflexively and instantaneously as he doubled up in pain , lashing out and hitting Pierce with an uppercut.(the little sniper didn't return to the ground). I felt the retaliation was justifiable and unpremeditated, but I know the AFL doesn't provide for justifiable retaliation, so I accepted the 3 or 4 weeks.

There have been numerous other cases of "justifiable "retaliation by all teams, but we all know , it doesn't exist.....until now!!!` So go for it, boys!!!

    They could not get Sellwood they said on sports tonight becouse no one else heard it said.

    If they found him guilty they would end up in a court of law.

    In a court of law their must be no doubt that it has been done.

    No witness no case.

    But read between the lines headland found gulity.

    BUT FREE TO PLAY.

    What do you think they belived.

    Once again West Coast show they are too big for the comp.

    My memory of the incident you refer to has Seekers getting away Scott free.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG after a dismal performance in Gather Round to face the reigning dual Premiers Brisbane. What do expect to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

      The Demons return to Melbourne and the hallowed turf of the MCG where they face dual reigning Premiers Brisbane on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
