Just a dumb thing to do and especially 3 weeks out from finals. Not the right time to be out of the team. He may not get back in as someone may come in, step up and take there chance.

    What a nonsensical and unnecessary  thing to do. Poor leadership from our VC who is still struggling for form post a long injury lay-off. 
    As stupid as him trying to break 900 tackles a game. 
     

    Going straight to the tribunal. It’s a poor look and if the situation was reversed we would be livid.

    My god you need a break, go for a walk. Then poor a nice red and regain some perspective. 

     

    Why? I'm sick of his play.  Can't hit a target or shake a tackle.  Time to go

    This is going straight to the tribunal?

    It seems so.

    Charged with 'serious misconduct'.

    iirc being sent straight to the Tribunal means a suspension - just a matter of how many weeks.  Of course the club can appeal any suspension.

    It looked unprompted.  Jack had his elbow pushed into the kids neck for about 5 seconds.   And it was off the ball.

    Will be lucky to play Monday night.

    Absolutely deserves a week,  but the Selwood case earlier in the year sets a precedent really.  He got a $1500 fine from memory

    That’s not tough Jack, disappointing footage of a vice captain doing it.

    He’ll get a fine, after Buddy got off for his elbow, anything goes at the moment.

    AFL a bit soft on swinging elbows, but IF Jack was doing something that meant a player couldn’t easily breathe he’ll miss games and can only blame himself

    This league is a joke, the AFL should compensate us for wasting our time with this rubbish

    Why? He deliberately pushed his elbow into the neck of an opponent. It was not accidental, it was deliberate and dangerous. If someone did that to Oliver you would be calling for their head. 
    It is a totally unnecessary act when we try to protect the head. The intention behind it means he will get at least a week. So good luck to him getting back into the side.

    Will get 1-2 weeks. Stupid thing to do from Jack. Completely avoidable and unnecessary. We were belting them in a nothing match, no need to put pressure on someone’s throat and trash talk him.

    Take a few weeks off and try to get your old self back Jack.

    IQ on field and decision making are not a strong suit.. much better players to replace him..

    Ha true, but surely we go in with that footage and say well whats the difference.

    I think both incidents should be a game, they will all stop doing it if it is.

    Reckon we could mount an argument that Collins is pulling him down on him given he's pulling Viney down by the jumper with two hands.

    Really can't see the big deal on this one tbh.

    Buddy got cleared as previous similar offences got fines. Find a similar one that got a fine, Jack free to play. Simples.

    Silly from Jack but there’s nothing much in this. Players do this at training all the time 

    Collins doesn’t breathe from his ear hole.

    Straight to the MRP is an overreaction. Holding someone down even if it is with the elbow to the side of the head is not striking and does not have the same impact.

    Just stupid really.

    In a game where it was pretty much a training drill, I for the life of me cannot undertake why he he would do this act. Have a scuffle, yep go for it, stick up for mates etc. I have no issues with it.

    When you're deliberately putting pressure on someone's neck, it's simply not tough, it's stupis. Jack really does lack the common on field IQ at times.

    Cop what we need to and move on.

    Think your right and not a good look.

    Which video do you see?

    Collins looked lifeless to me for the 5 seconds Viney had him pinned down by the neck.

    No loss, just saved Goodwin the hassle of explaining to the media why he dropped his VC. Step up Vanders

    Vineys fall from grace continues, his form has gone down the Trengove path with his foot.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
