    After watching long nearly break the neck of a demons player in the 2000 GF, he has dog status as far as I'm concerned.

      I believe it was Damien Monkhorst who taunted Long in that ground breaking case.

      That said, Spida has been involved in the process.

        Where do draw the line? Racial abuse is wrong in all its forms. I would put claiming to have had sex with a 6 year old right up there with Racial abuse.

          Eh, it was a stupid comment, but that's all that comes out of West Coast players these days. As others have mentioned, like it or hate it, sledging is a part of sport unfortunately. It's the cauldron of a footy stadium, home-ground, hard game, adrenaline is up and there is intense rivalry between the two teams, crap will always get said to stir someone up. It's not like they were two strangers taking a ride home on a train.

          It was a nasty thing to say though.

            As Paul Roos said "there's sledging and there's sledging". If I was Headland I'd pay two grunts (there's plenty of them in Perth ) to go round and see to it that Selwood realised he'd gone way too far.

                He admitted it?!!! What does that say about attitudes to women in the AFL - PR disaster for the AFL.

                    And just to add a bit more flavour to the Freo / West Coast game, we all know Daniel Chick tried to get Josh Carr suspended for an off the ball incident. Carr was offered a 3 week suspension for striking Chick and at the tribunal Chick gave evidence that the contact had forced him off the field. They reviewed the tape and found that Chick left the field PRIOR to the incident. The case was then thrown out.

                    What the hell are these guys on?????????

                    The tribunal should have then immediately suspended Chick for 3 weeks for blatantly lying and trying to use and abuse the system.

                      Despite Headland saying he told him it was his daughter?

                            But I still think Selwood must have said something else to him after Headland said that it's his daughter to get him so fired up that he hit him...

                                We don't know. Headland is a bit of a hot head. Maybe Selwood said nothing after Headland told him it was his daughter, but Headland was so steamed up about the original comment that he attacked him blindly and then became confused about the sequence of events and what was said? Maybe Selwood said something innocuous afterwards? Maybe Selwood didn't hear the part about his daughter and continued along the same line? I do find it hard to believe that he would have made that comment if he knew it was Headland's 6 yo daughter.
