The Jack Viney bump that never was!

Featured Replies

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

 

Jack Viney@jackviney7 4m

Disappointing outcome tonight but I really appreciate everyone's support! Many kind messages. Don't stress Dees fans, I won't change!

This is why we love this kid.

What a gem we have.

 

Boy, if you were a Bulldogs player, I reckon you'd be just about [censored] yourself right now.

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.

Finey on SEN is going off so are all the callers and texters

It's nice to have support from the footy community.

 

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

The new test at draft camp

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.

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.

The ultimate catch 22, what are you on 'jumbo'?

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.

Edited by S_T

so he wont play for 5 weeks, misses the next 2 then we have a bye

[censored] AFL, [censored] Gleeson and the 3 losers on the jury

Not sure of your maths.....


The entire football world bar 2 "experts " are with us! Who's up for a good old fashioned riot?

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

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
