The Jack Viney bump that never was!

Never bothers Hawthorn. Mitchell etc.

MFC player - 3 weeks

 

Ease up. Nothing much in it


I didn't see the game but have seen the highlights of the incident on the AFL app. I watched it the first time and it didn't even register to me that he might be in trouble. It'd be a complete disgrace if he was cited. This competition and sections of the media and fans are irrationally obsessed with suspending people. I just find it weird.

FAIR BUMP ... PLAY ON !

Edited by Fork 'em

Nobody had possession of the football so the bump was the only opinion

It's very sad that football us defined by lawyers and split decision actions rather than just common sense

 

No problems

Ease up. Nothing much in it

Just asking the question, it wouldn't suprise me if they have a look at it.


I think Lynch should be suspended for injuring himself and Georgiou with a head clash.

Was Viney's bump shoulder to shoulder?

Did Viney's head clash in to Lynch?

If the answer to both those questions is no then it doesn't matter that Lynch's head hit Georgiou's. That's footy.

We need the super slow mo camera to work out if Viney made the contact to Lynch or if it was the ensuing head clash that caused the damage. Viney shouldn't be held accountable if his bump was clean.

he turned to take possession of the ball, did not look as if bumping was his goal. play on...

Pull your head out of the sand. Caught any bump issues at the tribunal this year? The incident is going to have severe scrutiny. Hopefully they find it was shoulder to shoulder and legal. But I have little confidence. The MRP see injuries and look for suspensions.


I would say a lot depends on whether they view his action as a deliberate bump or bracing for the impact while going for the ball. As Stated above, they take the line that if a player chooses to bump and an injury results they will be suspended, so if they look at it from that side he may be in strife. If you watch the footage, he turns and braces a few steps before impact, so in slow motion it looks pretty premeditated and he certainly hist Lynch high with his shoulder. At full speed it looks a lot better for him because you can see the speed at which they are moving and how little time he had to register that the collision was coming and react.

I would say that if he played for a top side there would be nothing to worry about, but the tribunal has a history of coming down hard on players from the "weaker" clubs, also known as easy targets. Think back to Jack Zeibel getting three weeks for a totally legal attempt at the ball and Trengove's perfect tackle on Dangerfield which also copped three weeks. Based on that record I have a sad suspicion that they will look at this as an opportunity to show that they are coming down hard on dangerous play and will try to throw the book at him.

AFL website reporting Lynch out for 6 weeks with a broken jaw.

You can almost see the stitch up coming. Viney to get three weeks.

MFC player - 3 weeks

The day an MFC player gets 3 weeks for that is the day I stop watching footy.

Bumps like that are what make footy great.

i reckon the crow guy bumped viney. he should be cited for bumping and hitting georgiou in the head

was shoulder to shoulder anyway

We've been somewhat lucky to not have too many victims of these silly new rules.

Yet at the same time i'm still angry about Trengove's sling tackle suspension.

Oh and how about that tough guy Josh Jenkins body slamming Georgiou after Georgi stopped him in his tracks with a tackle. Any melbourne player does that and they get 3 weeks - see Mitch Clisby last year.

Nothing in it, should be fine. So he'll get 3 weeks.

He probably bloody will. Fair bump by Viney, Georgio was laying the tackle but because someone got seriously injured I think he will be cited. Very defendable though. Sometimes injury's happen.
 

His shoulder or head didnt connect with opponents head at any point. It was the the ricochet from a fair bump back into Georgeys head. Nothing in it... move on.

Geez Viney is like a terrier. He went hard and won the ball. Goes hard every time. It's a contact sport FGS.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
