Brent Harvey's hopes of playing in North Melbourne's first preliminary final in seven years rest on the tribunal not taking Joel Selwood's cut eyebrow as proof the bump, and resulting head clash, inflicted on him was hefty enough to warrant punishment.
Selwood said Harvey's hit was "very minor" and did not warrant a one-match suspension. The Geelong captain said he would give evidence at the tribunal if required.
"Those collisions happen throughout the night. We've all seen it. It was very minor. Accidents happen," he said on Footy Classified on Channel Nine on Monday night.

Harvey was training at Arden Street on Monday when he was informed of the match review panel's decision. The veteran, stunned at the outcome, immediately headed inside the club's headquarters.
