That's a bit of an overreaction.

Why? How is this not a distraction? If we appeal that’s another day of not knowing if he can play or not. 
We have a very tough week in hotel quarantine in Perth and a big game coming up on a hostile ground. How is this not an unnecessary distraction?

    He is not the first player to be suspended and won’t be the last.  Move on mate.

    Now let’s get Tom Lynch back to the tribunal for smacking blokes’ heads into the ground when they can’t defend themselves. That should be worth a couple of weeks too.

    Selwood of course would have been a free man

    The AFL Tribunal is so corrupt, they don’t even hide it anymore

    Let’s hope Jack’s reaction is as follows

    ”I don’t want to distract the club or team, so I will accept the decision without appeal. I will use the 2 weeks to work on my fitness, kicking and taking the first option” 

    gives the club a chance to compare the difference of Jordon (or equivalent) playing Viney’s role. Then making an informed decision on best line-up for R23 game against Geel.

    This is a forum for discussion. Last time I checked you’re free to put me on ignore. Just because someone doesn’t agree with your views doesn’t make it a carry on or laughable. 
    You carrying on that there was nothing in it has been proven wrong. We’ve now lost our vice captain for 2 weeks. Whether you agree with the decision or not, it was a dumb thing for Jack to do and put us in that position as a club. I doubt anyone at the club would disagree with that assessment. 
    No need to respond. I don’t give a single [censored] about what you think about my thoughts.

    lucky to cop two weeks imo

    My problem with all of this is the sheer inconsistency of the so-called 'Tribunal's' decisions. There is definitely a case of what is good for the goose, is out of bounds for the gander. The history of the decisions handed out by these buffoons  posturing as Pontius Pilate is staggering. There are too many instances of one law for certain protected species, another for the rest.

    When I first saw it it looked pretty bad. 2 weeks is about right.

    Don't care for comparisons to other incidents. You'll end up driving yourself mad

    Regardless of what happens now, this stupid act from Viney has added unnecessary distraction to an already compromised preparation for a very important game. [censored] poor leadership. 

    What a load of rubbish 

    Dont be such a drama queen

    This is definitely a big issue. Big name players for big clubs get away with murder which is absolute trash. The inconsistency of the tribunal and the MRO is disgraceful.

    The bleeding obvious question now is will Jack make it back into the team after his suspension? 

    Straight back in

    Would Selwood/Lynch/Buddy have gotten away with this? Probably. Maybe.

    But that doesn't make what Viney did right.

    Sure, they were wrestling, but only one guy had his elbow on the other's throat/jaw, and that was our VC. We were smashing them, there was no point in this. I want our guys to be 'tough', but not dumb/reckless. This would not be ideal had it happened the week before finals.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
