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.

I believe, the specific charge was outlined at the beginning of the hearing.

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

    Again, not correct.

    Gleeson for the AFL is asking, not telling, the Tribunal to treat Viney's evidence as "nonsense".

    That's a submission on behalf of the AFL, which the Tribunal is at liberty to accept, or reject.

    Gleeson doesn't "tell" the Tribunal anything.

    Viney has given evidence the contact was to Collins' jaw. The Tribunal will consider that evidence as well as the footage and will decide what it thinks about where the contact was. It is relevant, but not necessarily critical, that Collins has not been heard from. It will also be relevant as to what was in any medical report (e.g. does the medical report say anything about throat contact?).

    video evidence inconclusive and no evidence presented to confirm contact was with the throat. On what basis can the jury convict?

    Umpire’s call I reckon. Play on.

    Collins has a pin head?

    As we know the AFL Are clueless when it comes to players outside their protected guys. The change of plea bothers me I  have NO IDEA how this will play out

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

    Idk about nowadays, but back in the day there was an unspoken pact, if you will, among players to not “rat out” another player, regardless of what actually happened on the field. 
    Before anyone jumps on me saying that’s never how it was, I’m just going by what my Year 12 Geography teacher told me. His name was Geoff Southby and I guess he’d know, right?

    Legal 101

    With a guilty plea you discuss with the prosecution whatwill be alleged.

    Hell they even give you the summary

    Goes way more than the technical charge

    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.

    I'm always staggered when humans see completely different things on video footage, and are adamant that their view is the correct one, but it happens a lot. Based on that alone though, the jury can't realistically deliberate with certainty that it either was the neck or jaw. I have a feeling though that the question will be mostly redundant in the end.

    The jury has decided Viney is guilty as charged by the AFL.
     
    They find Viney made forceful, prolonged contact with his elbow to the neck/throat region of Collins

    Found guilty 

    Reckon he gets 3, even though the AFL asked for 2+.

    What a joke.

    That's crap. You can see Jacks elbow is over Collins hairline over his ear!

    Ok, suggested.  Even suggesting Viney's evidence is 'nonsense' makes it difficult for the Tribunal to take Viney's word as was proposed in the post I was responding to

    From AFL report:

    2 hours ago
    SERIOUS MISCONDUCT
     
    AFL counsel Jeff Gleeson describes Viney's offence as the pinning of the opponent to the ground and pressing and holding his elbow into the neck/throat region for a prolonged period of about five seconds with force.
     
    Whichever way people spin it, Anderson should have checked if his interpretation re the jaw was correct before Viney put in a plea not at the time the penalty was to be decided.

    Surely the only way they can appeal is if Collins testifies 

  • Quote

    10 minutes of deliberation and came to the conclusion it was the neck/throat without asking Collins. Or their mind was made up already.

    What a stitch up, was guilty before he walked in the door, appeal and actually get Collins to testify

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
