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

    Wrestling will get you a fine at worst.
    Choking a player will get you sent straight to the tribunal.

    Hence, the stupidity.

    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.

    Traumatic vertebral artery dissection is more common than just Phil Hughes, sadly. Very dangerous area.

    Watching On The Couch and Nick Riewoldt just said it's a dirty act and should be given more then 1 week. 

    Garry Lyon said its certainly not a good look and potentially looking a some time.

    Earlier on Jason Dunstall also said its not a good look as well..

    There's a trend.

    But Buddy can swing an elbow to the (usually) sacrosanct head and gets off.

    Going at his throat?? No just calling it as I see it. Personal? Nup just dont rate him as a very good player thats all. Nothing personal, probably a great bloke. Im commenting on his football, nothing more nothing less. U have your opinion I have mine and I agree with many that it is not a good look yesterday

    Odd looking at the video that the Suns player has hold of Viney’s jumper and pulling him down, rather than what you expect of someone in that position. You expect them to be pushing Viney off them. Not sure what was going on there.

    The GC player was pulling Viney in, the only way Viney could separate himself and gain some purchase was to instinctively put his arm down and accidentally push off the player on the grounds throat.  Additionally, from the angle I saw it from, it appeared Viney’s elbow was in contact with the other players shoulder, therefore most of the force and weight would have been on that part of the player and not his throat.  

    Case closed, I call for one of those dismissal thingy’s your Honour.

    I feel like the hysteria will upgrade what would normally be simply seen as a 1-2 week suspension. I’m picturing possibly as high as 3 weeks, it really isn’t a good look and Jack has been seriously out of form lately, I feel like this is his attempt to get back to his tough guy look but it’s just plain filthy. I would be extremely angry if an opposition player did this to one of our guys and would be expecting minimum 2 weeks on the sidelines. 

    The coaches need to get into Jacks ear now, not only is his football atrocious, but these undisciplined acts do the club zero favours.  It’s also a really bad look for our Vice Captain to be doing these sorts of things.

    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. 

    Agreed. It is an appalling intentional dog of an act and there is no place for it in the game. I will be surprised if he gets less than 3 and truthfully it will be deserved.

    Not a good look. I get that the GC guy was not innocent in this, but Viney is the one who had his elbow on someone's throat and that's never easy to sell, and it shouldn't be, I'd be calling for blood if they did it to us. Probably 1-2 weeks I reckon, and deserved for stupidity, especially from our VC. And a total waste against a team we were destroying.

    Some of you guys are nasty towards Jack. I dont understand the reasons people hassle him. Every good team needs a nasty little Jack. And ours is as tough as they come. Get off his case.

    Yes that’s like a Martin Dangerfield Franklin rule where the players status dictates the non suspension.  
     

    Viney tackles Collins.  He grabs Viney by the jumper as they wrestle while Viney stupidly pushes his elbow into Collins throat whilst Collins holds him.  Collins our wrestles him and gets up.  Doesn’t scream or carry on.  Plays out the game.  No player impact.  It’s not a strangle or a flying elbow.    It’s a one week suspension for stupidity.  In my view.

    I didn't like the look of this either, but I struggle with the AFL suspension system seemingly along with many on here - how do you get off/fined for deliberately elbowing someone in the head, and the outcome for "not a good look" (with no injury sustained) is potentially worse (according to pundits opinions) than an intentional head high striking act?

    Oh come on. Forearm pushing someone down on the side of the face vs a cricket ball hitting you in the neck at 135km/hour

    This is getting ridiculous

    Moronic stuff from Jack. 

    He's meant to be a leader and does this shi*. 

    Not to mention we are destroying the opposition. 

    Needs to get weeks and have a look at himself. 

    I think he's done this out of pure frustration at himself. 

    Has had an ordinary few weeks and wanted to let it out. 

    Either way it's dumb, selfish and just an awful look. 

    The only saving grace is precedent but I don't care if they didn't get weeks. Give him a spell so he learns this is a gross act.

    Geeze we have some very average supporters.  



    You think this act is acceptable?

    Maybe before calling me 'average' you should go and watch the footage and ask yourself if this is something you should do on a footy field.

    This kind of stuff happens all the time. "Acceptable" as in we should encourage it? Or "acceptable" as in it deserves a fine at worst?

    I'd hate to see the outrage if one of our players actually did something malicious on the field. Supporters hate the club being seen as pushovers/spineless then are ready to hang a player the minute he shows a bit of mongrel. Back your players in FFS, the overreaction on this thread is appalling from so called "supporters".

    Where? Who? When?

    This act is extremely malicious - he was intending to do harm 

    This isn't 'mongrel' - it's dirty a act that is a bad look on him, the club and the game

    I'm not 'backing' any player that would ever do this. It's weak. 

    Any previous example of this should have been punished with a week or more. Just a shame the tribunal are so inconsistent. . 

    I'm a proud supported but perhaps you should lift your standards, brother

    • 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.
