If Viney didn't brace himself for the contact the way he did, he would've left the field on a stretcher.

Showing a 'duty of care' works both ways and when you've got over 90 kegs of muscle coming your way at full speed, surely you should be entitled to protect yourself.

Not in Box Hill either, but a shirt full of broken ribs hurt no matter where you played.

Rjay, re Box Hill, still remember an unfortunate collision in under 17's with Alle Dewolde where I never saw him coming, last home and away game of the year I think. Had issues with sore ribs and lower back for several years after. I said at the time it should have bypassed the MRP and gone straight to the tribunal!

Lynch's evidence may be something like

"I wath approthing the fooball when I thaw Viney coming and then I thaw oh thit and then I don't remember anything"

I hope he has learnt from his big mistake.

Poor kid - will probably play like Morton for the rest of his career.

With a 70 year old tweed wearing pipe-smoking MCC member lawyer in our back pocket, Viney will get off surely.

MRP - video sounded positive + with all this media they might be forced to drop this one.

I like Matt Thompson - reports the facts nothing else and is unbiased (a rare quality in the world of media)

Well A) very happy, but hardly surprised, to hear that we'll be fighting this one. Roos definitely didn't want to give much away but clearly we reckon we can defend this one. B) it was heartening to hear that all opinions are leading towards our favour, apart from Healey initially thinking Viney was in trouble and recanting pretty much everyone agrees that Jack had no better alternatives.

Tom Lynch is 192 centimeters.

Jack Viney is 178.

Viney doesn't leave the ground.

Lynch was 192cm but a certain body part shrunk to the size of a bee when he saw Viney coming.

Thanks Carey, at best, this is not clear cut. Would be totally unjust to proceed with this.

Probably not the right time to say it but I still cant get over how Viney just bounced back up and attacked the contest again. The guy should be talked up next to Joel Selwood Luke Hodge in terms of toughness and courage. Just as courageous as those two.

make that more like a 180kg of muscle (Lynch + Georgiou) coming your way

Its a sad day for football if he goes for that. I would like an explanation as to what a player is meant to do in that situation. The only options other than what he did would be not make the ball your objective or dont protect yourself whilst trying to make ball your objective.

Do they want the player to drop to the ground (as if there's a sniper) to avoid contact?

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
