    I don't like the look. I'm not a doctor so can't comment on the physical implications but unprovoked pressure to the neck of a guy lying down after what was actually a ripper tackle is neither tough nor smart. Especially so late in the game when there was absolutely nothing on the line.

    I'm a bit surprised about the array of perspectives on here... I reckon if it was our bloke copping an elbow to the neck we'd be calling for weeks. But I can relate to not wanting guys like Viney on the sidelines heading into the finals. He (like Harmes) is one who desperately need to find form and that won't happen sitting in the stands.

    How many did Rance get for his altercation with Watts... 2 weeks

    Viney plays on the edge and that’s why most love him.   We need blokes like this and the tackle he makes on Collins is the perfect example of why he is so valuable to this side and will be one of our most important players come finals 

    Who do you exactly speaking for? Most of the commentary the last two years has been about Viney playing the rugby league style of trying to run through opponents, and instantly get pinged for holding the ball. If he's not doing that he's running through his teammates and having no awareness of his surroundings.

    Playing on edge is him giving away stupid free kicks by being dumb about it. This is becoming a constant theme for him the past 2 years.

    There's playing on edge, and there's being silly by not channelling that properly on the field.

    Just dumb; inconceivably stupid.


    Nothing tough about laying into a guy who’s already lying on his back.  Nothing to gain, plenty to lose.

    Shouldn’t even both getting on the plane.

    Just cool your jets and have a closer look. Viney wanted no part of it until Collins engaged in the wrestle.

    Some perspective for the delusional. Bad look but not a hanging offence 

    I think most people in this thread including me who said it’s a bloody bad look, think he will get a week. Not 7. 
    A week for stupidity and for not being a big name player from a big club. But also for utter stupidity and potential of serious injury is fair. 
    If he gets a fine he is lucky just as a few before him have been.

    viney provoked by being pulled down and held. wasn't a strike, just a push. can't measure pressure from a video, impact was low, collins gets up and shows no sign of injury or distress

    not a good look and a bit prolonged but only deserves a fine.....move on

    Hopefully the player who was copping it says there wasn’t much force to it. If that was Selwood doing what Viney did he’d be called courageous.

    Sure, that happened. Then he was a part of it and stuck the point of his elbow into someone's neck for 5 seconds. Come off the 'he started it' argument.

    Or like when you have to explain to the ER surgeon you were hanging curtains in the nude and you fell backwards and that’s how the light bulb…

    …actually, never mind.

    Can’t begin to imagine why you, I mean, why “someone” would risk life and limb (and various other body parts) hanging curtains while starkers. Each to their own, I guess. ?

    Whately just said that offence is from a fine to a week and AFL will ask for a week. He will get a week.

    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. 

    A stupid act and deserves one week, therefore I agree he'll get three because Melbourne

    I don’t know why we get to round 20 ands the AFL decide not to grade this under their rules 

    Intentional conduct, high contact, low impact = 1 week

    Did Collins play out the game?

    is he concussed?

    Any stitches?

    Will he play next game?

    Did Collins contribute to the position Viney was in?

    Appeal written all over this!

    You've forgot the most important part - the offence.

    It's not striking. It could be deemed rough conduct but that's there catch all they usually use for bumps.

    Incidents like this are usually deemed misconduct and given fines, but they've deemed this too serious for misconduct. Hence sent to the tribunal.

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

    5 week holiday. 

    I think it will be a minimum 3, possibly 4.

    Also, there was an horrific incident at the SCG a few years ago, different sport but similar area of the body.

    I'm at two minds with this. As a father with young kids who like to watch the footy and see this sort of behaviour and wish the players would stop doing it.

    On the other hand it doesn't look like there's much in it, Viney looks to be telling the player something and holding him down down to make sure the guy hears what he has to say. This sort of thing happens all of the time and is no more silly or dangerous than things that result in a fine week in/week out. This is classic Joel Selwood sort of stuff

    So much ridiculous hysteria here.

    It 'looks' poor but how do you know from the angle that Collins didn't pull Vineys jumper down? That happens a lot on these type of scraps

    Just wait to see what the story is....

    Yep and we signed him up on big money  for an average player

    For those suggesting 4 - 5 weeks there is no way Viney will receive more than 2 weeks. I reckon it's at least a 50/50 that it will be a fine, otherwise 1 - 2 weeks.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
