Following the tribunal decision that allows Brent Harvey to play in the Preliminary Final, he rang Joel Selwood to say thanks for his testimony.

Joel Selwood: Hello.

Brent Harvey: It’s Boomer.

Selwood: Ah, G’day mate. Can you hold on a second? Just fixing up my bandage. Got blood dripping in my eye.

And I’m back.

Harvey: I just wanted to say thanks for doing that.

Selwood: That’s OK. Chris said I had to and I kind of liked the acting challenge.

Harvey: Well, it was bloody brilliant, even I started to wonder if I’d tried to take you out or not.

Selwood: How funny was it when I said I’m genetically predisposed to bleeding! What a bunch of nonsense.

Harvey: Well, it worked. James Brayshaw told me we’re going to rig a raffle for you. Get you a new Mazda.

Selwood: I’m not sure if I can contractually drive a Mazda. Can I just win some cash?

Harvey: Can’t see it being a problem at all. If there’s one thing North Melbourne has, it’s lots of cash lying around.

Selwood: Well, I better run. Later on tonight, I’m going to be selected as an All Australian.

Harvey: How do you know that already?

Selwood: They’ve given all the winners a heads up. Anyway, better run.
