    Have to say I get pretty sick of pointing this out on this forum - basketball is not a proxy for 'softness'. For what it is worth, I have never, never had to consider not attacking a basketball because I might get suspended for rough conduct and I have plenty of broken bones to show for it.

    You should come up with a more articulate way of venting frustration.

    Go and watch basketball then u !!!!!!!!

    i am amazed that the fact that he kept his eye on the ball and gathered the ball after the collision did not demonstrate that was what he was going for.

    Another cheap shot?

    Don't have the cognition to debate?

    Never mind.

    What's to debate, your in the same class as Barrett, Caro and Dwayne... Enjoy their company.

    Has nothing to do with contact or non-contact, but whether players play hard or not. I just get fed up with people using my other sport as a cheap way of illustrating wimpiness.

    What sport is that UD Synchronized swimming?

    Ive re read your post and think I know what you allude to but it cant be done. He actually tried to. It inherrent in the nature of the game that ppl will come together...and hurt. This wasnt a malicious manouvre. It was a piece of play in which a few blokes went at it.....and crunch.

    The correct observation is....unfortunate ...and we all move on. Short of pre-determining all outcomes of this game there will always be "occurrences"

    it is just the game

    Okay.

    I agree. I had a bad feeling about this, but I'm more philosophical than most.

    The head is guarded...done, dusted, fin.

    And this one is even better. If you could read, let alone comprehend, which you clearly can't, you'd probably know the answer.

    When Gleeson referred to spinning out of the way, apparently (according to Graeme Bond who was at the hearing) he was merely providing example of what Viney thought he could have done. At no point did he put it to Viney that he should have spun out of the way. Journalists have misrepresented him there.

    We don't need to adduce fresh evidence to appeal. We simply need to show there was an error of law or that no reasonable Tribunal could have come to this decision - either of these options (the latter one is better) are open to us. Legally, that seems to me to be a good argument to us, but the risk of the suspension going up may sway us in favour of just accepting the 2 weeks (which is why IMO they gave the 2 weeks).

    Okay.

    I don't think anyone is disagreeing with you that the head is sacrosanct, nor do I think anyone is disagreeing with you that the head should be protected by AFL rules.

    It's not that. It's the application of those rules to this case. Specifically, it's the application of those rules to a situation in which a player did not bump, and even if he did, had no realistic alternative in the circumstances.

    Can't bump? Kids can't tackle. Kids can't play to win. Might as well go and play a violin because there is no contact #thisisajoke





    All @AFLPlayers need to come together on this one and do something about it #VineyGate



    On top of this Lids gets off. His suspension went from 2 weeks to reprimand. Can we have his lawyers.

    You are so incomprehensibly stupid that I'm putting you on ignore. Arguing with fools, etc.

    Great to hear the support from the AFL coaches and players. Have even found some respect for Dermie -he is boycotting Hall of Fame dinner in protest. I have never seen such an outcry.

    When is the Tom Lynch head butting case on Alex Georgiou case being heard???

    When will the AFL realise that the fans and players want the game to remain the physical one it always has been. Ban thugs not fair players

    Step sideways and avoid contact.. PLEASE.. #viney

    The AFL have already had a bad year - you would think they would just let this one go. This is a great opportunity to make your stamp on the game Gillon Mclachlan.

    Not ever before has there been a tribunal decision that demands an appeal more than this.

    We simply must appeal this decision.

    It's time to draw a line in the sand MFC. I'm genuinely sick of seeing us whipped unfairly and then roll over and accept it.

    Make it hard for these mongrels. Prepare the appeal documents now.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
