Season is basically done. We are going into the 4 hardest weeks of the season without arguably our best player. Good times.

AFL 2016 Rd 10 - Melbourne v Port Adelaide

 

Saw this pic on club website of Ollie taunting his off-field best mate.  If I can put words in Jack's mouth he would be saying:  'yep, you'll keep mate!

Disagree. Looks like Ollie is trying to help him by pushing him away.

Well doesn't that [censored] throw spanner through the works.

Really [censored] off now. I swear our young talent can never take a trick at this club.

Take a trick... He belted a guy three times... Absolute idiotic action and now with worse consequences. I hope the coaches and senior players give him a spray. What a fIog he is.

He wasn't injured punching Ebert, you muppet. Was injured in the first qtr.

Getting suspended was stupid but maybe get all the facts before teeing off

Please don't tell me he fractured it during that altercation with Ebert ... fmd 

Stevo tweeted  Believe Viney hand injury happened a few minutes before tussle with Ebert ... Played out game with it

Arrghhh we have hawthorn, collingwood sydney then the bye then the crows. Christ now we dont have our hard nut midfielder who has been great. Im shattered and we are stuffed. It will fall back on Jones again. 

 

Showed him getting it looked at straight after the hits.

I may have put two and two together and got 40, but I'm [censored] at the suspension as it.

The last player we could afford to lose, sadly. Not only is he our midfield grunt now, but he sets the culture for competitiveness. That and the fact that oppo teams now know how to expose our defensive shambles means it's going to get very very ugly this Saturday, and not much better for the next 4 weeks. All of a sudden getting to last year's seven wins is looking like a good result for the year I reckon.

Seems a bit strange calling our best player and leader a [censored]. He got rubbed out by a bit of stupidity which doesn't even matter anymore. 

Geez we are going to struggle without him. He, Gawn, Hogan and Jetta are not replaceable in our team. I'm wishfully hoping VDB is fit enough to take some of his midfield minutes in the next month though.

Indeed!! now he has popped a knuckle that requires surgery!! 

Barrassi made Crackers Keenan wear an orange jumper at training and had him running laps in the opposite direction to training drills! when rubbed out in crucial finals game

I would do exactly that

Bad timing, Bad Temper, shocking reactions to tagging 

Hang him out to dry!!

Needs to wise up quickly , Lest the word will go around stir him up and you WILL get a reaction!!

3-4 week for a Popped Knuckle 

FMD

I reckon Todd would be "Livid"

Its still better then years gone by with the bruise free footy tag!.  The punches were silly, who hasn't done something without thinking at 20-21.

Nah mate, I remember it happening.  Viney was already walking off.  It was byplay between two friends.  There was no "helping" about it.

That's less of a blow that Viney.

 

He picked a shocking time to break his hand throwing a punch.

He broke it in the first quarter, he punch Ebert in the 3rd.

I would bring in VB, Trenners and Ollie just to name a few. 


Doesn't matter. His loss is a disaster for the team at this point with the hard teams salivating at the thought of playing us over the next few weeks.

Did Viney make Greg Baum cry at some point? He has written another article about him. 

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/afl-2016-heads-you-lose-but-jack-viney-gets-off-lightly-20160530-gp7k25.html

He wrote this article when Viney got off after the Lynch incident last year.

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/viney-bump-was-out-of-time-20140509-zr7gd.html

I think that latest one doesn't really say anything that isn't true. In fact, it's fairly well balanced. Viney should consider himself lucky he only got one week.

They also said on 7 that Garland may miss 2 or 3 with his cheekbone. 

 

And of course the MRP had a good look at that too ?

Baum's version of Viney's altercation with Ebert is the equivalent of a Shaun Tait wide! As soon as Viney turned and pushed out at Ebert, the latter threw an elbow to Viney's chest, Viney's first two slaps were a warning but Ebert showed signs of wanting to go on with it. He was advancing and Viney threw the third, more emphatic blow which finished things.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
