...and did it occur to anybody that Collins could bench press twice Viney's weight... so if he wanted him gone all he had to do was push him off?

You’re seriously trying to excuse Viney’s act???  I think it’s safe to say that if the roles were reversed, you’d be baying for Collins’ blood!

    Sam Collins did not require any treatment at the time or ongoing as a result of the incident. He won't miss any training or matches as a result.

    What does that say about the force???

    So much for intent, hey. Would you prefer someone suffers a serious injury before anything is acted upon. Laughable!

    Well if you look at my commentary on this thread, you'll know that i never condoned the elbow. i have maintained that this was unnecessary. 

    My view has been that on the acts so far this year that fall into this category (Selwood eye gouging, Mummy dropping knees, swinging elbows Hawkins / Franklin) have been let go with a fine. 

    We have been on the receiving end of too many 'lets make a stand' verdicts and in the spirit of fairness this should be let through. Also the media are glorifying this ridiculously asking for 3-4 weeks + .. Get a grip. Collins pulled him down - Viney has said the same. but no doubt will pay the price purely on the fact that his elbow was placed upon his neck with low-medium force.

    I need a thesaurus to keep up the Colin / Nev back and forth. 

    anyone knows who’s winning? 

    They’re both winners imo. I love a hearty, robust debate. And they both have a great command of the English language. Even @Demonstonewould be impressed. ?

    Just in case people were looking for some facts. Selwood eye gouging If Viney gets weeks and this was in contrast let go, you tell my that doesn't make your blood boil?

    All I ask for is consistency. Just like umpiring on game-day we are getting absolutely torched. 

    If you want to make a change to the rules for serious misconduct do it in the off season. The fact that it has gone straight to the tribunal, is an absolute setup by the AFL to allow them to side-step any precedent / decision matrix to make an example of yet another MFC player.

    By the way, MENSA aren't all that bright.  They always get their NAMES mixed up.

    2 matches is harsh for someone with a decent record. But we all know they make light work of players who aren’t big names.

    "DON'T TRY ME" 
     
    Viney and Collins were clearly talking during the incident. Viney says Collins was challenging him to hit him, and Viney replied "don't try me".

    Hard to argue against 2 weeks. To me it feels about right. I’d just take this 2 weeks to get his foot right, his kicking and decision making right. Back for Geelong if required.

    Hey, this is Viney, remember the first person they absolutely flogged for a dangerous tackle, what was that 6 weeks.  Now people are getting off with a fine. Now the AFL wants to make another statement Viney will likely be made the scapegoat and get 4-6. They will spin bull about protecting the head, while they let anyone belt gawny in the head each time he goes for a mark.

    Guilty plea withdrawn.

    Apparently the guilty plea was in relation to a charge of serious misconduct, without admitting it was to the throat.

    We don't agree the contact was to the throat, we say it was to his jaw.

    Not really, if they find it was the throat then it’s 2 weeks.  If it’s the jaw then I’d say fine or a week

    I think the fact that the victim was pinned down and unable to get up, is pretty indicative of the amount of force applied. There are absolutely no excuses that can be invented for Viney’s reprehensible act. Minimum of 2 weeks if he’s lucky.

    Collins flipped Viney off him and got up as soon as he wanted. He was attempting to get Jack to do something (more) stupid.

    Can't believe Anderson had him plead guilty to a 'serious misconduct' charge without knowing/checking the nature of the conduct.  It was clear at the start of the hearing it was about elbow contact and force to the throat and neck region.  

    He gets to the point of penalty the penny drops the charge is more serious than he thought, withdraws the guilty plea and tries to renegotiate the charge down to contact to the jaw. 

    Amateur hour by Anderson.

    It’s been clarified that they only pleaded guilty to the serious misconduct charge and not the point of contact

    Well the only person who could clarify that is Collins.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
