The Jack Viney bump that never was!

Ok , so now you are not allowed to go after the ball just in case somebody gets injured.

He's still with us.

A Melbourne player.

He's a brilliant player who will learn to be harder at the ball and avoid collisions.

Your posts on this have been a disgrace.

Ignore list.

D'Land is in meltdown.

The boy is still with us. It's two weeks....not a lifetime.

There's a player with a wired up jaw tonight.

The head is sacrosanct.

Oh spare me.

I've said from the start Viney would go for it, but that doesn't mean it isn't a completely [censored] ridiculous decision.

This essentially means now that no player can ever commit to a contest for fear of incidental and accidental collisions. That's very sad for football.

This decision hopefully will galvanise supporters into coming Saturday night. A few banners supporting Jack would be nice.

They will make you take them down, they are not interested in what the fan in the outer has to say.

The AFL has now declared that players must pull out of a contest rather than risk contact that may hurt someone. Now officially the Australian Basketball League and you are encouraged to shirk a contest. This strikes at the very heart of our game. RIP Aussie rules

Yes...by pirouetting out of contest at the last split half second..

I said this afternoon that I fear for Jack Viney because of his attack on the contest. they are sending a clear message - do not attack a contest unless you are 100% sure you will get there first or not cause harm.

the rationale of this verdict is that " someone head got hurt so someone must pay".

I think we need to take another angle on this issue. I think that this is actually proof that the AFL is right in their obsessive protection of the head. Here we have three former players who have demonstrated their complete and utter lack of basic reasoning skills. I say bravo the AFL for picking up on the issue and taking steps to address it.

BT just standing up for us on 3AW, says it is an absolute joke. Healy disagreeing with him.

Dwayne Russel saying we are "sooking it up" as Roosy has canceled his interview with them. Healy (surprisingly) saying it is most likely because he is going straight to appeal, Russel is calling the MFC "sooks" as a reply to Healy.

Dwayne; says it all doesn't it.

What amazingly stupid comments. It was less than 1 second between the ball being 5 meters away from each player (and still bouncing meaning to could go any direction and at any pace) to the collision. He did not ELECT to bump. He didn't even bump. He collided with another player while chasing a bouncing oval shaped ball.

Crawl back into a very, very deep hole ffs.

I would like to ask all supporters to not listen to Russell and healy's show and let's hope their rating drop and they get the arse for being fllogs they both are.

I don't anyway but I will be writing to Fox and letting them know I don't want him commentating any of our games.

Way ahead of you there. I didn't even know they had a show.

I'm ropeable about this decision. I love the way Viney plays the game. He has qualities we've been crying out for for years.Will be a long term star for us no doubt. What will soon be obvious are the double standards the Amateur Football League will apply when a player from a more prominent club gets cited for a similar offence. Dont hope for consistency from these dogs except the constant that we will be screwed over every time.

RIP Australian Rules Football

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
