If you think this is no big deal you’re letting your Melbourne bias cloud your judgement. It is a dumb and dangerous thing to do. It’s a bad look and we are a better team than that. Can’t stand clubs who resort to cheap shots. 
We won by 98 points. What is the [censored] point of this sort of idiotic aggression?

    He held him down for 6 seconds with his elbow to his throat. They sent it the tribunal for ‘serious misconduct’. If he gets 2 weeks I think we are lucky. He’s not in the boys club. He’s gone.

    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. 

    Dangerous? Please

    I'm sure the guy was so traumatised he went straight off the ground and into the rooms for medical assessment

    Which video do you see?

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

    The one on the AFL website.

    He's clearly not "lifeless", bit of an overreaction there mate. Look at this still - He drags Viney down and has hold of his jumper with two hands.

    i find it absolutely ridiculous that this would even get cited and referred straight to the tribunal. Serious misconduct? There are countless jumper punches which are a bigger blight on the game that what what was simply a tonsil tickler.. never at one moment did he have his full body weight through his elbow.

    Putting pressure on someone’s neck is dangerous. Full stop. 
    You try having a 90 kilo footballer put their elbow on your throat and see how you like it. 
    Just because no damage was done this time doesn’t mean we should just let it go. It’s absolutely a bad look for a game that is trying so hard to protect the head of players. 
    Tell me this, if a Gold Coast player did that to Gus who has a history of head injuries would you be mad about it?

    Therein lies the point of this. You often see a player leaning on an oppo player in the act of getting back up on his feet. And yeah, he might apply some extra pressure for a second. But this went on for 4-5 seconds, which is a long time when your windpipe is being squashed.

    Well if Franklin gets off then Viney should as well.  However it doesn't work this way.

    What team does Michael Christianson go for again? Any coincidence that we play the cats in 3 weeks time and Viney would go straight to Selwood? Move along, nothing to look at here.

    Collingwood.

    Is this a joke? Viney is getting held down by his jumper, Selwood does this crap all the time, what a disgrace to even waste people’s time with this rubbish

    there is no injury, no case! That’s the way the AFL has been going for years.  
    If he was pushing that hard on his neck do you not think Collins would be holding his neck after the incident.  The bloke just jogged off.

    Hang on, so is it throat or head? Don't try and make it sound worse by changing the story to suit your examples.

    Don't u ever put words into my mouth!

    Based on what ive seen, based on the fact Dees seem to always cop serious tribunal stick, I  reckon he will get weeks! Putting an elbow onto someones neck is not just stupid its potentially very very dangerous

    Because you play from siren to siren.  Based on your view than ANB shouldn’t have made that chase down tackle in the last qtr and just been relaxing at half forward.

    What? Are we looking at the same video? Nowhere near his windpipe.

    The head and neck are one of the same. If injured both can have severe consequences. Hence why we pay frees for above the shoulders and not just for being hit directly in the head.

    Are you comparing laying a tackle to deliberately hurting an opponent off the ball??? How are these two things related??

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
