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?"

    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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
