In fairness the Suns said from the word go, even before that smug dim witted Christian had cited JVR, that their player was NOT INJURED and that the stretcher was a precaution because he felt a crack in his neck.  He will play this week. 
There is just ZERO LOGIC to these findings.   

Good get @monoccular. There are few entities emerging from this fiasco with any dignity. The GCS, God bless their souls, are one of a handful. If you had told me a week ago that I'd be bracketing JVR and the Suns inside the same compliment, I would have [censored] myself laughing.

Well the logic if it was followed through by umpires and the AFL is we have entered the era of touch footy! On this ruling you can’t initiate contact with a player in possession of the ball in any way as it could result in injury. Of course the AFL will ignore the logic and ignore similar collisions if it involves a high profile player or a big club in finals contention. And in the finals when the game gets really brutal the MRO will be looking the other way. 

Just highlighting the obvious flaw in your expectations of the AFL.

Adrian Anderson VAB (very average barrister). There are countless Melbourne supporting barristers at the Victorian Bar, including KC's, who would do a better job

Pathetic. The game gets worse every year. The constant rule changes, the inconsistent umpiring, the inconsistent and pathetic MRO and tribunal system, constantly compromised drafts, uncompetitive franchise teams being a money sink. The list goes on. 

I feel sorry for JVR for having to put up with the mistakes made by some detached limpdicked fools in suits. I hope it didn’t effect his confidence and career going forward.

So, we can expect there to be a six oppo players suspended every week for missing the ball and instead smashing Max in the back of the head in a marking contest.

Really, such utter rubbish.

Fox have a stupid segment called "ear massages" where they have dozen of examples every week. 

Chol was unreasonable with possibility to cause serious damage yet not cited. 

They pick and choose.

 Jonathan Brown has gone pretty hard on this issue.  Got a somewhat better perspective on the issue than Slobo.

Jonathon Brown, Nick Reiwolt and even Kenny Hunter, back in the day would be banned from the game these days. Going back with the flight into a pack to take a mark is just too dangerous! Where is the duty of care?
 

Oh hold on Jono always kept his eyes on the ball, that would be totally different, that’s safe. I mean if you looked at your opponents before you polaxed them, that’s not upholding your duty of care. 

yes it all makes sense now.

@WalkingCivilWar reckon the cheer squad need to put this on the other side of the May 200 game celebration.

RIP AFL. 1858 - May 9th 2023”

If (when? Hopefully when!) we do appeal and JVR finally has the charge dropped might I suggest

"From 6-6-6 and 2-2-0, JVR is good to GO!"

Every year that goes by it’s becoming harder and harder to keep watching AFL, If Hawkins or another big name player did that they would be lauded for bravery for going back with the flight and would never have been sited, the AFL Is a joke

I’m comforted by this statement on the MFC website:  “The Club will consider all its options before accepting the Tribunal’s decision.”

Spare a quick thought for the kid. A handful of games, now walks away from the tribunal thinking he’s done something wrong. They obviously didn’t believe a word he said otherwise he’d be playing this week. 
I hope this doesn’t change the way JVR plays. 
A very disappointing decision.

If the near inevitable happens and he doesn't get off, he could do worse than look to Chandler for inspiration on how to keep his chin up, preserve and suceed after getting ffed over by the AFL.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
