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.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    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.

    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.
