If you think this is no big deal you’re letting your Melbourne bias cloud your judgement. It is a dumb and dangerous thing to do. It’s a bad look and we are a better team than that. Can’t stand clubs who resort to cheap shots. 
We won by 98 points. What is the [censored] point of this sort of idiotic aggression?

    He held him down for 6 seconds with his elbow to his throat. They sent it the tribunal for ‘serious misconduct’. If he gets 2 weeks I think we are lucky. He’s not in the boys club. He’s gone.

    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. 

    Dangerous? Please

    I'm sure the guy was so traumatised he went straight off the ground and into the rooms for medical assessment

    Which video do you see?

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

    The one on the AFL website.

    He's clearly not "lifeless", bit of an overreaction there mate. Look at this still - He drags Viney down and has hold of his jumper with two hands.

    i find it absolutely ridiculous that this would even get cited and referred straight to the tribunal. Serious misconduct? There are countless jumper punches which are a bigger blight on the game that what what was simply a tonsil tickler.. never at one moment did he have his full body weight through his elbow.

    Putting pressure on someone’s neck is dangerous. Full stop. 
    You try having a 90 kilo footballer put their elbow on your throat and see how you like it. 
    Just because no damage was done this time doesn’t mean we should just let it go. It’s absolutely a bad look for a game that is trying so hard to protect the head of players. 
    Tell me this, if a Gold Coast player did that to Gus who has a history of head injuries would you be mad about it?

    Therein lies the point of this. You often see a player leaning on an oppo player in the act of getting back up on his feet. And yeah, he might apply some extra pressure for a second. But this went on for 4-5 seconds, which is a long time when your windpipe is being squashed.

    Well if Franklin gets off then Viney should as well.  However it doesn't work this way.

    What team does Michael Christianson go for again? Any coincidence that we play the cats in 3 weeks time and Viney would go straight to Selwood? Move along, nothing to look at here.

    Collingwood.

    Is this a joke? Viney is getting held down by his jumper, Selwood does this crap all the time, what a disgrace to even waste people’s time with this rubbish

    there is no injury, no case! That’s the way the AFL has been going for years.  
    If he was pushing that hard on his neck do you not think Collins would be holding his neck after the incident.  The bloke just jogged off.

    Hang on, so is it throat or head? Don't try and make it sound worse by changing the story to suit your examples.

    Don't u ever put words into my mouth!

    Based on what ive seen, based on the fact Dees seem to always cop serious tribunal stick, I  reckon he will get weeks! Putting an elbow onto someones neck is not just stupid its potentially very very dangerous

    Because you play from siren to siren.  Based on your view than ANB shouldn’t have made that chase down tackle in the last qtr and just been relaxing at half forward.

    What? Are we looking at the same video? Nowhere near his windpipe.

    The head and neck are one of the same. If injured both can have severe consequences. Hence why we pay frees for above the shoulders and not just for being hit directly in the head.

    Are you comparing laying a tackle to deliberately hurting an opponent off the ball??? How are these two things related??

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
