...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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
