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.

Any chance they have played some footy?

Probably a bunch of top end of Collins street wankers in suits that have never stepped on a footy field cos they were too scared to get some mud on their shorts

Dead set, if Viney gets pinged for that bump, I will be seriously annoyed.

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!

Besides the point, isnt it amazing how he bounced back up and got the ball?

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.

Not Vineys fault someone let him out of the cage

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)

Tom Lynch is 192 centimeters.

Jack Viney is 178.

Viney doesn't leave the ground.

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.

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

Wayne Carey on tf reckons he'll get 5 weeks. The others agreed. What carp

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

Jack Viney has already been to Mars; that's why there are no signs of life there.

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.

Interesting that if the three blind mice give jv a holiday we might get to see Riley play whose nickname is pig dog got a reputation in sanfl for getting in and under

For god sakes censuring Tossa. Are we living in a nanny state. Get a life moderator.

It's automatic you [censored]

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

It's automatic you [censored]

That's ridiculous

Tom Lynch is human.

Jack Viney is an animal.

Viney doesn't leave survivors.

If Lynch was wearing a helmet cam it would have looked something like this:

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?

Dead set, if Viney gets pinged for that bump, I will be seriously annoyed.

That'll learn em.
