Jack Viney Suspended for 2 Weeks

Collins sustained no injury from this incident. It's complete  horse $hite from the Afl once again. The gross incompetence  of these so called tribunal members is a bad joke.

i don't think Jack will be offered a MENSA membership any time soon

I consider that this is the crux of the matter.

"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".

Is this legit?

Bloody hell what a pisser!

Well the only person who could clarify that is Collins.

Yep, the video angle wasn't conclusive. I wasn't sure whether contact was to his neck or jaw from the angle everyone was judging on last night.

First look seemed the jaw/side of head but as I say...inconclusive.

Unless there is better video then Collins is the man to clarify.

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

Not the point I was making.  legal counsel would surely know before his client pleads guilty or otherwise what the charge actually is.   My point was how could our legal counsel let the hearing get all the way to the penalty stage without knowing what Jack pleaded guilty to.  

What did Anderson think 'serious misconduct' meant a light touch to the jaw!  If so it would never have got to the Tribunal.

From the vision the jaw is a fair call and would be almost impossible to refute.

Made me chuckle too. I’m following it on AFL.com and Nathan Schmook posted it about half an hour ago.

Agree.  Are they allowed to call the other player in to give evidence? 

And the afl didn't even bother getting  collins to call. Its amateur hour really

Surely the onus is on the prosecution to call Collins to testify that contact was made to the neck? And presumably they didn't call him for a reason. Only two people know exactly where contact was made, and Viney has said it was to the jaw. Without conflicting evidence, surely that has to be taken in good faith?

Yep, Gleeson has gone out on a limb here and ius the real amateur.

Hard to do when Gleeson told the Tribunal to treat Viney's evidence as 'nonsense'.

Based on the AFL website, Gleeson is almost saying Viney is lying:  On Viney's evidence that contact was to the jaw, he says: "You'll have no difficulty rejecting that submission when you look at the evidence ... he's given evidence that is flatly inconsistent with what he knew he did."

Bit of a stretch by a leagle eagle.

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.

Ease up Lucifer, you don't know what you're talking about.

Serious Misconduct is not defined in the AFL's Tribunal Guidelines.

There is nothing within that phrase which requires a player to make contact to any particular part of the body.

The charge against Viney is that he committed serious misconduct. He pleaded guilty to that. Without the benefit of a "charge sheet" (if such a thing is given to a player) or otherwise the transcript of precisely what he was asked to plead to, I reckon you and anyone else criticising Anderson should ease off.

You know what David Byrne would say? He’d say STOP MAKING SENSE! ?

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
