Just had a look at that. The difference is that Viney's was entirely legal. If Whelan did that today he wouldn't play for 12 weeks.

ah, but it would be 'Love a lee' ...

don't want to hit by a truck, don't play on the road.

    Jack Viney is better than advertised

    I knew he'd be good but hes looking like absolute superstar material already

    I remember some people querying his pace pre draft, I guess thats just cos he was known as an inside midfielder

    the boy is FAST

    and he doesn't have the Numero Uno mantle, to bog him down.

    It really was a fantastic piece of play from Jack and it's a real shame that it was highlighted in a negative way because of the MRP/tribunal and all the controversy that followed.

    It's sad that a young player has been put out of the game for 6 weeks because of the incident but I'm sure he would understand that it is part of the game that collisions are going to occur, I really wish him all the best with his recovery as he seems like a very talented player who's had a poor run of luck with injuries.

    Viney, Tyson and JKH just ooze leadership group in a few years.

    And the best part is - we don't need them to be leaders.

    And that's probably why they are thriving.

    What a father-son combination! According to the Herald Sun's picture editor, one of the Bulldog players was being tackled by Todd Viney. An understandable error as the Viney in the picture in yesterday's Herald Sun was hidden behind the Bulldog so the editor had to guess which Viney it actually was.

    Reverend as you are well aware we have canonised a number of players over the last six years and most are not at the club anymore.

    Did you read these three lines?

    "Yes he looks good but let the kid develop without the messiah label.

    I know we are desperate for someone to love after nearly decade of crap.

    But lets acknowledge he is looking good but not yet the messiah"

    Is there anything wrong with this?

    I enjoy watching him play as much as you but so far he has shown a lot of promise IMO nothing more than that.

    Some of the orgasms on here are a bit over the top.

    All I'm saying OD is that sometimes you've just got to let yourself go. I understand what you're saying but I'm prepared for disappointment at any moment and will deal with it if it comes. I'm enthused at the moment and my natural optimism is being fueled by some visibly significant improvement. At the moment, the lid is off and the jar is half full. When we beat Richmond next week by 37 points I expect to see you unscrewing the lid and letting the good times in.

    My metaphors are getting messy. A bit like the orgasms!

    For all his good attributes Jack has one flaw he needs to fix ASAP and it bloody irritates me that players get to this level and have this issue.....

    HE'S ONE SIDED!

    He tried to kick once on his right foot on Saturday night and it was a roller. Was also run down because he couldn't get on his left side. No player is complete if they can't kick at least competently with their non-preferred foot.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
