Interesting. He got reported for hitting Viney earlier in the match also, I saw the hit on tv i think (looked fairly light but a hit to the face none the less) - it must have also been been after a review as they didn't mention it on th Channel 7 when showing the footage of him playing.

We have a new arch enemy. Bastard

    Will be interesting to see what he gets for the bump.

    Conduct = Intentional

    Impact = Severe

    Contact = High

    This works out to be 9 Activation points or 550 total points.

    This equates to at least 5 match suspension. On top of this the first incident incurrs carry over points equivalent to at least a 10% loading bringing the total to more than 600 points.

    He will be lucky to get less than 6 weeks.

    It doesnt look like he will be back playing AFL footy in a hurry.

    An eye for an eye-six to seven is nearly fair .

    Some days they take the consequence into account: other ties they don't, at least the AFL tribunal / MRP.

    I am not so sure regarding the VFL. I do seem to remember some p'weak penalty dished out in the last year or so to someone who intentionally severely injured one of our Casey players.

    gotta say, i didn't have a big problem with the bump other than the fact he broke his jaw.

    the punch was a cheap shot though.

    Yes I think he deserves our hatred. He'd never try anything like that in the seniors. He's weak. If the definition of offences in the VFL is the same as the AFL he should struggle to get off the rough conduct charge. He would have to show either (a) he had no realistic alternative way to contest the ball other than to bump (clearly he could have tackled) or (B) that the high contact was due to unforseen circumstances (eg sudded change in position of the victim player - again this defence does not look available.

    The haters and torch wavers need to take a breath. You are sweating the small stuff. Wojo will be finished at year end.

    I agree... I watched that footage several times and the hit happened just a fraction after Jack got the ball... both players were committed and Wojcinski at full pace was never going to stop in time. He may well go for it, but I think the "Conduct = intentional" is a bit ridiculous.

    couldn't imagine Geelong's coaches being really impressed with Wojo getting frustrated and taking a swing at at teenager. I think Viney may have ended Wojo's time down the princess.

    Not what you expect from a triple premiership player, I am thinking that Wojcinski must be pretty frustrated with football life. Hitting a first gamer and then trying to wipe him out with a bump; when a tackle was all that was needed.

    With the cats having two byes coming up and being out for 5 to 8 weeks (adding the three weeks (1 week for striking and two for the byes) to the penalty) may be the finish of his career. I believe that this is the last year of his contract. Not a good high to end on.

    Could have tackled and hit was high resulting in broken jaw! Multiple weeks possibly 4-5

    So your assumption that Wojcinski will be retired? Delisted? Unable to get another AFL game after this season? Does this make it okay that a triple premiership 31 yr old player smacked an 18 year old in the face and then crunched him and broke his jaw that will have him out of action for minimum two months?

    Sweating the small stuff?

    Do yourself a favor and put yourself in Jack Vineys shoes.

    He's 31 wallowing in the VFL/ reserves. Now looking at a lengthy ban. There are a number of players in Geelong from their golden era that will finish up at year end. He looks a defnite candidate.

    Calls for retribution and revenge when we next play them are unnecessary as he wont be figuring in the AFL.

    Wojo has a great career record which has been sulllied by a gutless and cheap act on a kid. He dserves to go for plenty.

    Thanks for melodramatic response and missing the point. Mind the small stuff now.

    Cheap act and he will be punished. Lets move on now people and focus on winning a game

    You bite so easily.

    Surely will be a lengthy ban, chose to bump, could've tackled, kid out with broken jaw for 6 weeks. 3-4 weeks total with his cheap little jab.

    Big stain on Wojcinski's career for mine. Real 'hero stuff' to get stuck into an 18yo first gamer the way he did.

    A one-off reflexive incident is one thing, but he clearly targeted Jack V. for attention. Weak as pizz.

    Agreed, if you look at the tackle he laid on Viney before the jab, that in itself was crude in nature

    So a crude tackle, he then held him down, when Viney pushed him off he punches him in the face, then later cleans him up when he clearly could've gone for the tackle

    I have no doubt he was targetting him

    or Jack was targeting Wojo..?

    Didn't see the game, so no idea

    All I've seen is wojo's crude tackle, holding Viney down, punching him in the face when Viney pushed him off and then cleaning him up resulting in a broken jaw

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
