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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
