I also found it somewhat strange that Greg Baum questioned the decision to let Viney off (the MRP ruling that it was an open hand to the chest) on the basis that in his view the head is sacrosanct and that "Viney's lunge landed much nearer to Rance's jaw than his chest".

So on this view, I suppose Greg Baum would also believe that a goal should be awarded if the ball hits the inside of the goal post because the ball landed closer to the goals than the points.

Why does this cheat even get air time?

I dont usually listen to KB but his regulars seem to be all about their own egos rather than any real analysis or opinion. Almost redneck in its style?

A great tribute to player relationship and leadership by Viney. Watts has been seen as somewhat timid in the past - and I understand why ,after the weak,collie wobbles,( collingwood players )attached him first game....pity Viney wasn't around then.

This attitude by Viney and others show a total new spirit in player welfare this year - Go Dee's.

Looked like it got him in the neck or throat to me.  Post game photo evidence shows no signs of bruising, scratches grazes, etc to Rance. Nor was he showing signs of trauma distress like grogginess and disorientation, only understandable fear.  MRP got this one right.

Mick has definitely lost the plot. What a stupid, ridiculous thing to say.

If Jack had been upright and hit the turf hard he may have been in the same boat as that poor young boy Patrick Cronin who was buried yesterday after a king hit to the back of the head by some thug just over a week ago.

Mick's comments are insensitive and shows how out of touch he is with modern society.

Check yourself in to aged care Mick or keep your trap shut.

it is pretty simple.

Rance should get credit for not being a serial offender - and he got that - 3 weeks down to 2 weeks. If you are a cleanskin you can get a reduction for a guilty plea. If you have a bad track record you can't get a reduction - To me that is the one good thing about the system. ( probably the only good thing)

Rance was a pi$#sswe&$k coward.

 

Im not quite as hard as you.

Rance's act was a cowards act that is out of character for him. He had a brainsnap that we haven't seen before and would suspect we won't see again. He got a well deserved whack and we move on.

It's a small thing but wanted to comment anyway - Have watched this btw 50 - 100 times (the whole replay 3) as I'm in tragic mode at the moment, and what I found interesting between this and the Viney tackle on the 'don't argue' (which I have watched 100+ times), is how well Viney moves his legs and feet to enable him to exert force. I honestly think his brilliant footwork is how he gets to exert all that strength and wins against bigger/taller (maybe stronger opponents). The speed with which he moves his legs under him for balance just makes him unstoppable. My theory is that this superior sense of balance, will mean that his disposal (kicking) will improve further (substantially). I think he'd make a ripper boxer as well.

Wow Mick's mind is definitely starting to fail him now. What a stupid thing to say. I don't care if you're a soup kitchen volunteering, kitten saving, stand up guy; if you elbow someone in the back of the head on a footy field while he is lying on the ground defenceless then you deserve weeks. 

The MRP made the right call on this, stuff like this has no place in the game. And if Mick thinks Rance should've got a free pass for his cheap shot then maybe Mick doesn't have a place either.

Agreed but if you hadn't noticed, Mick actually doesn't have place anymore  - except a little spot on the radio where he has to be contrary and controversial to be even slightly relevant

The AFL were never going to suspend him. We are trying to build a pre-ANZAC day game. There is nothing more ANZAC than sticking up for your mates.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
