AFLPA should get involved in this.

It is gross injustice.

The thing that shows this is a broken system is that either:

A) Viney chose to bump and broke someone's jaw--in which case he should get 4 weeks, or;

B) He didn't choose to bump and the broken jaw is incidental--in which case he should be found not guilty.

Instead, neither of those options is taken and he gets 2 weeks instead. Why?

I posted that this afternoon. 4-6 weeks or not guilty. 2 weeks is nonsensical

Gerard Healy and Dwayne Russell both agree that it was the right decision made. They read out a bunch of messages from journos i.e gerard wheatley, mark robinson etc. who were infuriated by the decision and Wheatley and Russel followed by saying "how much AFL footy have they played" etc.

Absolute wankers.

Unbelievable arrogance, especially from Dwayne who was mediocre at best! Besides, I would like to steer them towards some of the tweets coming from Mark Ricciuto, Cam Mooney, Jude Bolton, three of the hardest players to have played the game, just to name a few.

Former Hawthorn great Dermott Brereton said on radio - moments following the verdict - he would not attend the AFL's Hall of Fame dinner in protest.
More to come …
I love the support of the AFL community

I just fell in love with Dermie

I hope others join him and this becomes a huge movement

2 weeks - 2 games against two clubs where Viney's presence could make a real difference. Absolutely disgusted with this outcome.

Why wasn't the player that picked up Georgiou and smashed him to the ground, reported?

The tribunal members have been out of the game that long they can't remember the last game they played let alone sit on judgement.

Allegedly can only appeal if we have new evidence? (according to the newsreader chick on SEN)

That's not correct. It's actually completely the wrong way around. You can appeal based on the four grounds I outlined earlier (error of law, Tribunal could not reasonably have come to that decision, penalty manifestly excessive etc.) but you cannot usually adduce new evidence.

This is from an article about Brent Harvey's appeal in 2012:

Tribunal rules dictate that the only grounds for clubs to refer a tribunal decision to the appeals board are ''an error of law, a grossly unreasonable decision, a manifestly excessive classification or a manifestly excessive sanction''.

New evidence is only allowed if appeals-board members are convinced that evidence could not have been produced for the preceding tribunal hearing, and was significant enough to prompt the tribunal to overturn.

We have discovered the AFL is a joke - does that count as new evidence? I guess not

Just further proof the AFL is totally political.They have no concept of proper procedure and fairness.

Football community polarised. NFI reigns supreme. After being stitched on Trengove didn't think it was possible it could happen twice.

Now hope the club and players galvanise behind Jack.

AFL have made fools of themselves tonight. Good work boys.

Why should people pay there hard earned to go watch a sport where players can no longer commit 100% to a contest, it's a disgrace the AFL is going downhill at a rapid rate

Because Georgiou's head didn't hit the ground. If Georgiou had weaker neck muscles, there would have been a suspension.

If it was Joel Sellwood do you think the result would be the same? Im not suggesting it wouldn't be just curious....

Had a sickening feeling about this....

Jack will learn.

What will he learn 'jumbo', to get out of the way of a contest? to have no faith in the AFL system?

The onus is now for players to take evasive action to avoid contact or suffer the consequences.

Please, please appeal.

Well I hope this doesnt put people going off to the footy saturday night. I think we should all get there and stand behind this team and show them we support them.

By the way on a side note I wonder if Sam Newman will do his march to afl headquarters like he threatened to do when Fyfe got suspended. I hope he gets all fired up about this on Thursday.

That's Wayne Henwood, Emmett Dunne and Wayne Schimmelbusch.

These guys should wear pink tutus outside the MCG on Friday night cause they are as soft as melted butter.

How can past players think he could get out of the way seriously what a pathetic, disgusting, appalling and WEAK decision.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
