The Jack Viney bump that never was!

Featured Replies

It's not Viney's fault that lynch has a glass jaw.

Bloody hell life is so unfair!

Mark Riccuito (sorry, spelling) said during the call, that he didn't think Viney had any problems. I thought this was interestingly unbiased from him, as his allegiance to the Crows shone through most of his other commentary.

I personally can't see how he can be cited. His bump made no head high contact. The concussion came from a head clash from another player. not Viney. Sad for both players who were injured, but just one of those things. It wasn't a bad bump.

Lynch jaw broken on the left side (Viney), bummer, prob will have to cop the two weeks. scheisen

 

what time do the MRP release their findings for each round?

I didn't think Viney made contact but after rewatching it many times I think you'll find his right shoulder makes contact. This can be seen watching the footage where we see Viney from behind. Having said that it was in play, he was after the ball realised the situation and braced himself. It should be thrown out but the whole system is a joke, so who knows.

When I look at it again Vineys options were to pull out of the contest completely or to not turn side on for the bump and therefore take an open shirt front from Lynch, what would you do? This will.be a real test of the MRP, I reckon. Viney didn't go hunting a hit it just appeared as a genuine contested ball situation. Will be an interesting adjudication. I have zero faith in the AFL let me say.

He's done nothing wrong but that fact someone got seriously injured they may want to hang someone for it. Hopefully common sense prevails.

where did you hear this (left side)?

Hmmm from what you say it looks like he is cactus! AFL and common sense do not always overlap that often. Ask Jack Trengove.


He's gone... Plenty of precedent but they'll rub him out. Different jumper would yield a different result.

btw did you notice viney after the bump, picks up spilled ball, puts on afterburners and runs straight at crows #11 putting him flat on his arz

the guy is a human bulldozer

FWIW just about every commentator and reporter is saying it was nothing more than an accident. I don't have any faith in the MRP though.

Accidental doesn't matter with high contact, hence the outrage at the Fyfe ruling in round 1.

It's a broken system.

I watched it again and the Nat Fyfe bump again numerous times and now I am actually a little bit more confident that JV may get off, Fyfe had a little bit more time to either execute a tackle or a smother.

You still never know with the MRP but leaning towards accident that was just a hard contest where fate played a part


I understand your frustration jnrmac, it frustrates me too but the rule is pretty black & white these days. If you choose to bump you suffer any consequences.

My point is that the Adelaide player didn't bump or brace himself which you would reasonably expect him to in the circumstances. What was Viney supposed to do with two players bearing down on him? Stop? Run away? As it was he 'braced himself' which I would argue is different to the 'if you choose to bump' rule.

If he gets pinged it will be because the Crow player didn't brace and I think it would be wrong..

Like Col Sylvia's broken jaw in the pre season comp a few years back??

Ricciuto's probably worried that the AFL will make the MRP act retrospectively. If so, he'll be suspended for about 2 years.

(Note: I have great admiration for Ricciuto. It's just the way the game was played not that long ago).


MRP and common sense = oxymoron.

Pull your head out of the sand. Caught any bump issues at the tribunal this year? The incident is going to have severe scrutiny. Hopefully they find it was shoulder to shoulder and legal. But I have little confidence. The MRP see injuries and look for suspensions.

it was shoulder to shoulder initially, until inertia forced contact between shoulder & head, then lynch & georgiou head clashed. this is what did the damage to both.

so should Georgiou be suspended for being irresponsible in that he was too close behind causing the headclash or was Lynch irresponsible in his attack on the contest ?

* I know Just suspend them all !

I know its semantics but I have looked at Viney's attack on that contest and I don't think his sole intention was to bump. It happened so quickly it looks to me like he was going flat out to the contest ( does he know any other way ?) and saw bodies coming and braced himself for contact rather than making a bump his primary mission.

 

There is a difference between choosing to bump and protecting your ribs. Viney did the later and there was no intent to hurt.

  • 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.
