Not strong enough, not enough speed, no hurt with his disposals. And no player is given free rein in the midfield under Roos.

No mate Common Law Straight upstairs

Affray as well.

The charges will be all stemming from the same incident. It gives the prosecution scope to withdraw some depending on the strength of the evidence, negotiation with the defence etc.

There are negatives and positives and both are aspects of realism. I like your posting but I think sometimes you lose grasp of this.

I think there is a lot of Jones in Viney. Jonesy used to (and still does) win a lot of ball close in and neutralise contests without getting the footy out. When Viney does get through he often chooses the most attacking option, as Jones did. As Viney's games sense improves he will start to get the footy going our way and learn to back out of traffic as Jonesy did. And Dom Tyson is just what the doctor ordered.

The curse is a state of mind. We won't be able to rasie the cup UNTIL we shed it.

And so on a cold autumn day the club that invented the game of Australian Rules Football was chosen by fate to defend the game. Todd Viney, hard nut and former Melbourne captain joined the Demons in 1987. This was incidentally a year that the Demons made the finals after spending over a decade in the football wilderness, directionless, weakened and starved. There was something poetic about Jack Viney being the figurehead in this controversy, and the eras that both father and son entered the club bore striking similarities. Jack Viney is not what the AFL community expect in a Melbourne footballer, he is brash, hard confident and expectant of success. In a week where the club has started to claw back some respect it was thrown into the limelight, all eyes were on Viney and the Melbourne Football Club had to stand up and fight. The fight wasn't just about a player missing out on 2 weeks of footy unjustly, it was about protecting the integrity of the game. This week Melbourne Football Club was noticed, and for the right reasons. It wasn't being laughed at as a pisspoor opponent, or pitied as a weakling. It was the aggressor. It had the courage to stand before it's benefactor the AFL and demand justice for it's player, the club and the game in general. For those who opposed the appeal, "up yours". Your attitude is old Melbourne. New Melbourne is hard, brash and uncompromising and Jack Viney is it's face. Here endeth the curse.

Please congratulate Mahoney on a job well done Saty. And congratulate Roosy on the inspired selection and ongoing faith in JKH. BB had a problem with that too .

He may not. Maintaining your subversive seed planting. Good win wasn't it?

I get upset sometimes. Going for a walk helps.

Actually my concern is that it is more of a call to amend the law. My understanding from what he says is that the panel had no choice but to find Viney guilty and that the law was at fault.

Once I found out who the panel members are I came to my own ideas. Look carefully at them.

Jenkins was desperately trying to shake him loose, to prevent being almost instantly asphyxiated.

There must be a high ranking, senior type pulling the strings out of those three. Would be completely consistent.

Your posts on this have been a disgrace. Ignore list.

AFLPA should get involved in this. It is gross injustice.

I think that is what Jack's defence will put forward.^^

Saty you seem to have started to find your feet as the Demonland Training Reporter of late, it feels like you have been building for a while but with this effort you seem to have started to really piece it together.

Serious question. Why hasn't Viney been charged with rough conduct causing injury to Georgiou?

This is an interesting point

I think they are the players that are beginning that natural incline of improvement that the development wasteland of the MFC has lacked for so long. It's nice to see now that what should be happening, is actually beginning to happen.

Steering away from comparison as they generally don't turn out too well, he is well above average in a few areas and I have been saying since the start of the season that he looks like a mid. His ability to take the ball at speed. His lateral movement and ability to instantaneously change direction. His ability to size up the short option or handpass instantly. Whilst he is not built the same, Rioli is a bloke with these attributes (but I am not comparing them).

Seems that get's said every week now.
