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.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
