Jack Viney Suspended for 2 Weeks

[dees189227 12,432]

Just a dumb thing to do and especially 3 weeks out from finals. Not the right time to be out of the team. He may not get back in as someone may come in, step up and take there chance. 

[Jaded No More 68,974]

What a nonsensical and unnecessary  thing to do. Poor leadership from our VC who is still struggling for form post a long injury lay-off. 
As stupid as him trying to break 900 tackles a game. 
 

Going straight to the tribunal. It’s a poor look and if the situation was reversed we would be livid.

My god you need a break, go for a walk. Then poor a nice red and regain some perspective. 

 

Why? I'm sick of his play.  Can't hit a target or shake a tackle.  Time to go

This league is a joke, the AFL should compensate us for wasting our time with this rubbish

This is going straight to the tribunal?

It seems so.

Charged with 'serious misconduct'.

iirc being sent straight to the Tribunal means a suspension - just a matter of how many weeks.  Of course the club can appeal any suspension.

It looked unprompted.  Jack had his elbow pushed into the kids neck for about 5 seconds.   And it was off the ball.

Will be lucky to play Monday night.

He’ll be suspended- his names not Buddy 

[Travy14 1,955]

Absolutely deserves a week,  but the Selwood case earlier in the year sets a precedent really.  He got a $1500 fine from memory

That’s not tough Jack, disappointing footage of a vice captain doing it.

He’ll get a fine, after Buddy got off for his elbow, anything goes at the moment.

AFL a bit soft on swinging elbows, but IF Jack was doing something that meant a player couldn’t easily breathe he’ll miss games and can only blame himself

Why? He deliberately pushed his elbow into the neck of an opponent. It was not accidental, it was deliberate and dangerous. If someone did that to Oliver you would be calling for their head. 
It is a totally unnecessary act when we try to protect the head. The intention behind it means he will get at least a week. So good luck to him getting back into the side. 

[Lord Travis 10,763]

Will get 1-2 weeks. Stupid thing to do from Jack. Completely avoidable and unnecessary. We were belting them in a nothing match, no need to put pressure on someone’s throat and trash talk him.

Take a few weeks off and try to get your old self back Jack.

Selwood only got a fine because Selwood.

Hit the road Jack, I reckon will get 2 weeks

Coz its Dees and he aint a protected species

You’d be happy if he got 2 wouldn’t you?

[SPC 3,571]

IQ on field and decision making are not a strong suit.. much better players to replace him..

Ha true, but surely we go in with that footage and say well whats the difference.

I think both incidents should be a game, they will all stop doing it if it is.

[Lord Nev 13,512]

Reckon we could mount an argument that Collins is pulling him down on him given he's pulling Viney down by the jumper with two hands.

Really can't see the big deal on this one tbh.

 

[Smokey 4,389]

Should just be a fine, so 1 week minimum 

[Clintosaurus 7,891]

Buddy got cleared as previous similar offences got fines. Find a similar one that got a fine, Jack free to play. Simples.

[The heart beats true 18,175]

He will get 2 weeks. It was dumb and not the look the AFL want at all. Well after the play, and prolonged.

[Nelo 813]

I’d say 4-6 weeks 

[DeeSpencer 26,091]

Silly from Jack but there’s nothing much in this. Players do this at training all the time 

Collins doesn’t breathe from his ear hole.

[BDA 22,955]

Straight to the MRP is an overreaction. Holding someone down even if it is with the elbow to the side of the head is not striking and does not have the same impact. 

[dazzledavey36 55,453]

Just stupid really.

In a game where it was pretty much a training drill, I for the life of me cannot undertake why he he would do this act. Have a scuffle, yep go for it, stick up for mates etc. I have no issues with it.

When you're deliberately putting pressure on someone's neck, it's simply not tough, it's stupis. Jack really does lack the common on field IQ at times.

Cop what we need to and move on.

Think your right and not a good look.

Which video do you see?

Collins looked lifeless to me for the 5 seconds Viney had him pinned down by the neck.

No loss, just saved Goodwin the hassle of explaining to the media why he dropped his VC. Step up Vanders

Vineys fall from grace continues, his form has gone down the Trengove path with his foot.
