Jack Viney Suspended for 2 Weeks

[Billy 2,529]

Serial offender, chose to bump, hits the player in the head, be careful yet again Joel, fine🤬

[Pates 9,660]

I just can’t work out how after last week with Viney, the optics not the injury to the player get examined and therefor gets a 2 week ban. But then this week a bump which frankly looks worse and even more deliberate just gets such a weak as p!$$ response. 

Michael Christian needs to be removed as MRO.

Hard to argue against. I think Selwood could actually shoot someone and get off.

[titan_uranus 25,019]

It's incredulous that Selwood gets just a fine for that.

We know fines don't deter Selwood. He's had three this year alone.

It's a disgrace. He's a disgrace.

Is that before the game or at a quarter break?

Just had a look at the replay, yeah it is before the game, so I stand corrected for the photo.

(Not apologizing to Duckwood tho...)

I assumed Taylor's black eye was from a Hawkins elbow

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story! The tribunal don't!

The protect the head notion is laughable. 
 

A millimeter either way….

Selwood had choices and he chose to bump…how often do we need to hear this before a “star” gets cited.

I’m not one that thinks the MFC gets a horrendous trot ( I think stars get off) but this is so clear cut.

it’s shameful 

I texted SEN this morning for questions without notice near 830am. Apparently they had already cover it. I made a point about how its a joke and the media outrage for Viney was over the top. They just scoffed at the fact I had texted late and Watson was arrogantly making light of the fact. Which shows exactly the problem with the media, agendas for some different for others.

I can barely listen to SEN mornings atm. RSN with Harf White & Bartel is so much better it's laughable.

I assume that's Daniel Harford, Jimmy Bartel and...who is White?

i noticed his face looked a bit discoloured during the game...i didnt put it down to that bump but this has to be the biggest [censored] up this year.

I would not be surprised if people start calling for Christiansen's head here as there is no doubt in my mind that he is compromised -  this is a minimum 1 week suspension everyday of the week. If he had been concussed it is then 3 weeks based on precedent. 

This is why Viney's was a stitch up as it was the action (not the outcome) that was penalized. They wanted him gone for more than 3 weeks i reckon so that he'd miss the Cats game(s).

I have texted SEN in the afternoons severaly times and it never gets mentioned because its usually against the narrative that they are trying to sell. 

Isn't Craig Hutchinson a Cats supporter?

Should mention, Dr Gonzo pointed out above he went into the game with his face looking like that, my bad.

Agree though, it's embarrassing that we rubbed out a bloke for two weeks for wrestling but Selwood can run through a guys head and get off.

He's a tiger.

At some point, Christian should plant a stake in the ground and send this to the Tribunal as a non football action that is not a good look for the game = Serious Misconduct, same as Viney. Let the Tribunal decide an outcome in terms of weeks out of the game to send a real message. Clasifying this in the Striking, High Contact, Low Impact basket for a fine over and over again isn't deterring the action by this serial offender. 

It can't be argued that Selwood, with elbow raised, had any other thought than to run through the Giants player who had his head over the ball and wasn't protected. The MRO classifcation rules aren't protecting his opponents and someone is going to end up in a wheelchair at some point. Giving a multiple weeks' suspension decision (high impact) at that point is too little, too late.

I think this is the game JV would have been very helpful, a hard at it slog.
