    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.

    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

    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?

    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.

    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....

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
