*Hawthorn's medical report says Worpel did not require treatment, while no further ongoing treatment will be required.
*Soldo says he is 204cm, while Worpel is 185cm. He says he intended to brace for contact with the Hawthorn player.
*Soldo says Worpel stepped into his line as he attempted to make his way from the area.
*Soldo said he was "stunned" by Worpel coming at him, saying his actions were based on instinct.
*Soldo says he apologised to Worpel immediately after the incident, saying it wasn't his intention to strike him.
*The AFL's legal counsel, Jeff Gleeson QC, says that the reasonable action for a player to brace for contact would be to tuck his arms in, rather than raise them as Soldo did.
*Soldo's legal representative, Sam Tovey, says it was an instinctive reaction to contact initiated by another player that he was not expecting.
The video footage clearly shows Worpel coming at Soldo, he wasn't expecting it and merely put his arms out and protected himself, he didn't go after him, Worpel is 24cm shorter, hence the clumsy high contact. The thug Mumford clearly goes out of his way and uses his knees to onpurposely hurt Murphy and gets off, while Soldo gets suspended for protecting himself with a player running at him. AFL are a disgrace and i think have an Agenda against us. They want an even competition, they want the Bombers up there playing finals and this was a deliberate decision to sabotage us making it harder for us to win on Saturday. How Fyfe, Ablett, Mumford who were all deliberate actions looking to hurt the opposition get off and Soldo gets done is astounding.
