Selwood told the Tribunal he had approached Thomas immediately after the Port forward smashed his brother Scott gutlessly with the sole intention of telling him he had committed an "effing dog act".
The Cats star conceded he had made contact with Thomas' head with his left fist, but advised he would have done more damage if he hit him somewhere else.
Selwood also argued that if Power supporters want to beat the shit out of each other he should be able to smack the crap out of a dog, and pointed out to the tribinal that Port are Geelong's bitches so dog acts are expected.
So Selwood retaliates and gets off, Thomas retaliates and gets a week. The more I see the incident, the more I think mass over reaction. That hit wouldn't even make the top 100 bumps in AFL history, I actually thought his bump on Henry was harder. What about the 'Dog' act in the game where Saint Selwood kicked Wingard as he passed him.
