The Jack Viney bump that never was!

[Return to Glory 8,441]

Complete and utter madness.

[Satan 2,871]

Did the afl also refer Packer and Gyngell directly to the tribunal?

It was in sydney , no sydney player gets pinged

So why hasn't Talia been cited as well? His little push on Watts resulted in a serious back injury that forced Watts from the field and may well see him miss a game. You can clearly see him throw a reckless arm at Watts at about 18:33 in the second quarter.

what a load of buuuuuullshit

the bump was clean

[wattsup 470]

Brereton summed it up perfect on radio, said his intent was the ball made body contact with lynch and who ended up with the ball that's right viney, this will get very very ugly if he cops weeks the media will go nuts

[dazzledavey36 54,939]

This has to be some kind of sick joke..!?

If he gets weeks then its official soccer is a tougher sport then footy.

Didn't realise we were playing soccer

[jumbo returns 6,741]

I fear 2 weeks.

[JackVineyForPresident 310]

I think he'll get weeks, it hurts to say it.

Despite the fact i thought he turned onto his side to brace himself for contact, i think that you just cant do it.

[Damo 3,356]

I think he will get 2 weeks because its politically incorrect to bump hard. Viney has always been the epitome of the hard bump in Juniors.

Im glad we won and believe taking Lynch out (legitimately) got us over the line.

Unfortunately Jack may be made to pay. I bet nothing would have happened if they got up.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

When is his fate decided ?

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

We must fight this if he goes.

[Whispering_Jack 30,135]

If he goes for that then we should come out on Saturday night wearing pink tutus.

[low flying Robbo 979]

If he goes for that then we should come out on Saturday night wearing pink tutus.

I'll already have a Pink Poncho on

[Satan 2,871]

If he goes for that then we should come out on Saturday night wearing pink tutus.

That would confuse the players

[Deeoldfart 8,033]

Knowing the lack of logic which typically applies in these cases, I cant help but fear another injustice.

[Earl Hood 6,086]

If the medical report shows Lynch's jaw was most likely broken by Georgiou's head clash, surely that has to be taken into account. Watching it again from several angles on the News tonight you can see Georgiou pushing Lynch forward and down just as Viney is arriving and turning to protect himself or take a hit to his mid section. He didn't come in from the side, they were coming at each other almost head on at high speed. What is he supposed to do in this situation?

[Vipercrunch 2,827]

So are you saying Lynch did not secure possession or that Lynch took possession? Or both?

Looks to me in the replay that Lynch bent forward and took possession, had it knocked out in the clash and that Viney ran onto the ball from there.

I think Viney possibly could have tackled, but that would have opened him up to being crunched by Lynch, so bracing himself was his only realistic option. Unfortunately the high contact has resulted in a broken jaw, it would appear.

I should have reworded he first bit as I focused further into the incident. It was only when the ball sat up on the last bounce did it become clear the Lynch would get to the ball first and have first chance to gather possession. I stand by what I said about Lynch not securing the ball at any stage and there being no where near enough time to attempt a tackle. Even in slow motion the time between the final bounce of the ball making it clear the ball was likely to be gathered by Lynch and the contact was very short.

[wattsup 470]

Geez I hope roosy goes nuts on 360 tonight I will chip in for a fine, not that he needs me 2

[Older demon 2,741]

I think Georgiou's close proximity to Lynch forces him into Viney and leave son room for escape or to protect himself. It is a different scenario to every other jump bump hit head so far. Maybe going direct to tribunal is in Viney's favour as the Adrian Anderson points system would severely prejudice Viney with the points allocation

[DemonWA 3,934]

the bump on Anzac day was far worse....

[4JacksandaKing 52]

If Viney gets suspended/sanctioned for that I will give up football, demonland, drugs, sex and alcohol. No [censored]!

I wonder if Adelaide kicked up a stink.

It's the same scenario when Trenners tackled "glass jaw" Dangerfield. Sore losers Adelaide made a big deal,

Trenners gets 3 weeks and hasn't been the same since. Dangerfield excels the next round, so much for his concussion

as shown on the doctors report. What's with that club.

[dee-luded 2,959]

MFC player - 3 weeks

I reckon 2 matches mono... back in time for the TIO Traeger Park game against Port. & following games.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

we NEED Viney to be available against tbhe dogs. he is killing it at the moment. [censored] joke this is.
