The Jack Viney bump that never was!

Featured Replies

I reckon Roos will have a good motivational tool to get the boys fired up these next two weeks.

I reckon social media would almost literally burn down if it got drawn out to 4 matches after appeal.

I think we will appeal tomorrow. The AFL will be torn between not wanting to buckle to public demand, and doing the right thing. I think the stubbornness of the AFL will win out and the 2 weeks will stand.

I don't think the penalty can be increased if the appeal fails - they either overturn the original decision, or uphold it. Two weeks and no carryover points - nicely graded to seem reasonable, minimise the outcry. They hope.

This has probably been brought up, but I wonder what the charge would be if it was a Hodge or a Sellwood instead of a Viney?

 

Just 10 years ago the AFL was advertising this type of clash as a reason to see come see the game.... what a farce it is now

Roosy is in it


If we are to protest, is Jack likely to be given a longer sentence ?

If so surely it is up to him whether he wants risk being a martyr for the club.

It's easy for us fans to demand a protest we have nothing to lose.

The club need to work out what is best for Jack before making any decision.

 

What worries the AFL most is the TV rights. It would be great if all supporters boycotted the TV this weekend. But it won't happen sadly.

They soon will if the game loses the toughness it was once known for.

In saying that, I don't think players will change the way they play, they will be instructed to continue attacking the footy like Viney, and in 99.99% of occasions there won't be a freak series of events that lead to a broken jaw, so there will be no case to answer.

Just really pisses me off that players consistently get one week or reprimands for the cheap little elbows that are deliberate, and then players like Viney and a few before him are rubbed out for longer for playing honest hard footy, and someone has accidentally been injured. It is bullshiit.

Looks like Jack Watts is the prototype AFL player of the future now. Plenty of skill, no aggression. Basketball style zoning, corralling that is the future for the AFL.


What a fcuking joke!!! this game will netball on grass soon we really need him massive loss

I'm on the way over to the tribunal to eject a turd on their doorstep, who wants to join?

It's okay, I'm listening.

Jack will always be hard, but now he'll be more discriminate.

Haha. Dumbo are you a mind reader or maybe a flat mate of Jack's? If not, then you have no idea what he will do post this verdict. And neither do i.

This could change him as you say or, alternatively, it might just as well make him more demonic and just go harder but lower into the contest.

Having watched Viney play a few games and having read his tweet this evening, i'd be putting my hard earned on the latter. I don't think he'll change his approach one iota and this result will probably make him more determined than ever to hit in hard.

I can see what Dermie's riled...

Riding the bumps (oops no), bracing for impact (nope can't even do that) pirouetting aside with a grin at Hawthorn


How is Hawthorn not a dead duck waiting in all this ???

oh thats right ...theyre Hawthorn.

Im all but lost for words about this. A joke is funny...this......

I think it makes them look more incompetent. Either guilty 4 weeks or not guilty.

  • 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

    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.
