Ummmmm....

Are you trying to play dumb? 
Why do we put a neck brace when someone has a suspected head injury? 
Do you need an anatomy rundown? An injury to the neck can cause severe damage to both the body and the head. In fact they can be more dangerous than head injuries.

    What a [censored] joke this is…

    not a great look, yes he shouldn't have done it . But in my memory it’s never been a suspension for this type of incident ? 

    You know they will go and invent a rule/ suspension against one of our players.How  many times is this gonna happen when we are on the receiving end of BS tribunal decisions.

    1 week for every second he un-necessarily has his forearm on the throat.

    5 week holiday.

    Unfortunately you are correct

    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?

    David Neitz did this on multiple occasions , I know different era bits it’s happened this year too with no case to answer.

    No, you're trying to move the goal posts now.

    First you said he was 'crushing his windpipe', then you said 'what if it was Gus with his head injuries'... Fair bit of distance between the throat and temple, so perhaps it's not me who needs an anatomy lesson.

    You're just pushing outrage rather than the facts.

    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?? 

    I’m pointing out the fact that you mentioned that we were 98 pts up so why would he be aggressive. They are playing a game of footy and being aggressive is part of it regardless of how the game is going. 
     

    You people are completing over blowing it.  There was no injury and Collins instigated the incident by pulling Viney down after being tackled.

    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.

    Unfortunately, they will invoke the 'potential to cause injury'' rule that they pull out whenever they want a certain outcome.  Difficult to argue against as it is impossible to prove what didn't and may never happen.  They don't use logic ie they don't use 'probability'.

    That’s not true because all you have to do is look at the Buddy incident or any of the elbows thrown this year and the potential to cause injury is high but all were given fines.

    Wrong person, LN. That was me who referred to his windpipe. But I agree wholeheartedly with Jaded. A Viney brainfart of the highest order.

    Stupid act but is it worse that an elbow to the head?

    Historically MFC have been the groundbreakers in tribunal suspensions.  Trengove v Dangerfield sling tackle, Grinter v Wallace, even Jakovic the only player ever suspended for wrestling, so I suspect he will get 3 weeks.

    Not sure why Viney was in such a huff.  Yes he should have received a free because Collins 'took his legs out'.  Frees are missed a dozen times a game.  Over reaction by our VC.

    As I understand the 'straight to Tribunal rules' he gets weeks or it is thrown out.  Fines don't come into it do they?

    It can't be both of these things.

    Not sure how they can come up with a grading of serious misconduct without the hint of an injury? It's not a great look at all, but it seems like another decision the MRO is scared to actually make a judgement so they've passed the buck

    Because Collins pulled him down.

    You can just see the beginning of it in this frame...

    Never heard of anyone getting rubbed out for an incident like this and never heard of anyone being injured as a result of an incident like this. I’ll wait and see what kind of judgment the MRP passes down but I’m struggling to see why this should be anything other than a fine.

    That is what I mean - they invoke it when it suits them.  

    The difference is those others were classified as 'careless' (well disguised by Buddy, Selwood etc) as they were in play, sort of and luck was going there way on the day.

    See my prior post - I think it is too late for a fine.  It is thrown out or he gets week(s).

    Hopefully he does get weeks.

    Gives us a reason not to play him. Purely on form the past few weeks he's been ****house.

    Get Jordon back in, or if they want to go for the bigger experience body then Vandenberg.

    If it was Joel Selwood….

    But it isn’t. Jack aint the sharpest tool in the shed. 
    Off the ball in the 4th Quarter, for at least 5 seconds 

    Completely unnecessary

    I never said anything about crushing the windpipe. Read my posts again. 
    Head and neck is one of the same when it comes to severe injuries and concussions. In fact a few players with ongoing concussion issues have had neck injuries or neck issues. 
    We pay frees for above the shoulder not for in the head. End of story.

    But does it really make that much of a difference? Head or neck: both no-go zones.

    It's not a good look. Doesn't matter who started it, the video shows Viney putting pressure with his elbow on the head/neck region. It's a really, really bad look.

    However, if Buddy can swing an elbow into Luke Ryan's head and get a fine, then this should be nothing more than a fine because this is no worse.

    If the Tribunal is going to start looking at precedent, look no further than the Tribunal telling the AFL world last week that throwing your elbow around is fine and not going to result in suspension if the other player isn't injured.

    Collins was fine, Ryan was fine. If Buddy didn't get a week, there is no [censored] way Viney deserves one.

    • 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?
