While we are on Jack Viney in Olivers thread,

I remember reading once that Jack and his brother are both black belts in karate.

Can anyone verify this? 

If he is,no wonder he tackles and brings players to ground the way he can.

Loved that Rance takedown and the one after the don't argue was tried on him last year.

    I thought, Max, his younger brother is into expressive dance or ballet or whatever you call it.

    Seriously.

    Good call. Remember there being footage of a school performance or something last year, or pre-season.

    Why was Peter Wright not done for his late hit on Jetta?  The footage is damning, he's clearly given up on contesting the mark and just turns the shoulder and rams into Jetta's back after he's taken the mark.  It should have been 50m on the day and a report.  Not only did the umpire not pay it at the time,but I haven't seen anything in the media about it.

    Come on, it was late but it wasn't charging. It wasn't high. It got a 50 and that's what it deserved.

    Doesn't have to be high to be reported.  As I said, he gave up on contesting the mark, turned the shoulder and ran through a player from behind.  That's a hell of a lot more likely to cause injury than a sling tackle.  It should have been a rough conduct report at the very least.

    Agreed. Could easily be classed as low impact, intentional to the body.

    Something like that is much more likely to do damage than the cheeky little stomach punches the ping players for these days.

    Agreed, especially since Jetta was injured by it.

    You're right, it could be considered rough conduct. 

    I don't think he meant any particular malice by it, I was satisfied with just the 50 and glad Nev came back on (and played a blinder).

     

     

    Back to Oliver, I chuckled after the Prestia hit the umpire says "are you ok, Dion?"

    LOL thats gold

    18 year old in his 5th game causing absolute carnage every contest he is in. Pretty good player too.

    Even funnier if Dion replied "Lucky I'll be playing with him next year".

    Yep, should've been a fine IMO, or at least noted by the MRP. Pretty nasty cheap shot given he hit him right down the middle. Good to see Garland give it to the big lug.

    I thought about it at the time, but decided Garland caused the impact just as much as 2MP with his slight bump

    He also rag-dolled Lynch to the ground on Saturday night too.

    Might be hypocritical when back to the OP I've decided Oliver was pushed in to contact but looked to me like Garland got him off balance but Wright had time to pull up and thought better of it. 

    Not worth a week though so no real issue.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
