Jack Viney's square off on Rance

Vandenberger With The Lot

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.

    Mick Malthouse thinks Rance should have gotten off because he's a nice guy.

    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.

    Malthouse failed to disclose that he coached Rance's father at both Footscray and West Coast. The good bloke argument was laughable.

    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.

    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.

    Amazing how often Viney seems to be the nearest Demon if something out of line happens to one of his teammates. Sixth sense?

    He is always hunting the pill and getting to the next contest.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
