Jack Viney's square off on Rance



Recommended Posts

Three down to two. Tick. (*)

Now, will he decide not to come back? My "Bye" still stands.

(* although the 'coward punch' - from behind / no warning - discussion is compelling. I've also been thinking of Phil Hughes's injury, given the part of the head and the pointiness of elbows)

While i love the shot of Viney, The snapshot of Watts on the ground just laying there as if he has been shot dead is a haunting..

Use to respect Rance but you are an absolute coward!

Rance 1.94cm 93 kilograms Jack Viney 1.78cm 84 kilograms. Huge difference in size but Jack absolutely threw Rance around like a rag doll not just once but twice. Strong as a bull is our Jack.

Interesting. So Hogan has 8 kgs on Rance. I think most of Rance's power is across the chest, so he has small legs, which means his centre of gravity is in danger when a guy like Viney gets a hold of him.

Dog act by Rance. Twice. One for the hit on Watts, one for taking a fall. It's no wonder the timid tiggers didn't stand up for Rance. 2 weeks accepted - so he should of.

Viney was magnificent remonstrating. Leading by example with and without the ball.

I think Rances attack of Watts was one of the worst instances I have seen.

As bad as the attack on Watts by the Collingwood triumvarate in his first match.

The biggest difference was that Viney came in and remonstrated with Rance immediately.

Previously Melbourne players  did not even raise a whimper in protest at Watts manhandling

Thank Goodness Viney was ferocious enough to stand up for his mate. I hope he told Rance that the treatment he had dispensed was as disgusting as it gets and that he wasnt fit to wipe Watts boots and of course more. Had he been reported  probably would have given the AFL away I am pleased with the outcome and hope this is just the begginning of a new demons 

 

Go DEES

There was nothing bad about that whatsoever.

Ok.. That's going way over the top.

I expect our boys do give the same exact treatment to any 1st gamers that play against us.

A gang tackle isn't even in the same league as a coward punch.

Because of Rance's centre of gravity, Viney with his knowledge and feet in the open right position was able to move back to balance himself after the initial contact and forward movement. Rance was always on the defensive.

There has been a lot of media attention over the Rance, Bugg  and Viney incidents. In THE AGE aside from a front page banner there are three lengthy articles relating to Sundays game.

What a silly old coot. Can you imagine the outrage if that had happened to one of his players while he was coach? He would've been out for blood.

As if you needed anymore evidence as to what an out of touch, hypocritical imbecile Malthouse is.

If I ever had a positive view of Malthouse, he has just sunk it below the waves.    The Tribunal already has past-history in its calculations, but apparently if you are a top player the rules should be different. 

(BTW, people can believe whatever they want, fairy-tales and spaghetti monsters included, but I don't think a parent whose religion prevents him from giving his kid a blood transfusion can be called a 'model citizen'.)

See Mick Malthouse has bought in saying Rance shouldn't have been suspended. What a joke he is - trying to make himself relevant. Very ordinary bloke IMO.

described it as a "slap" too. i'm waiting for sheedy now to weigh in with some preposterous comment

Coming from the guy calling out to Milne from the huddle then lying about saying anything...  Top bloke for comment on what is acceptable or not.

Seriously. Not even joking.

I heard him this morning, and he honestly sounded like he'd lost the plot a little bit. Not just in what he was saying, but he was almost incoherent in trying to explain it.

Also called Adam Maric a "cheat" for trying to claim a goal that didn't come off his boot. Seems to have a pretty skewed morality ol' Mickey Mouse.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
