precedent Adrain Anderson is talking about?

 

[chachi11]

Anderson says the appropriate range of penalty is between a fine and one-week ban. He says Viney deserves some credit for giving evidence and pleading guilty initially.

 

[Capital Power]

Not following this, but it seems the kangaroo court is in session, as expected. Nothing must derail the Victorian Fantasy League...

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

TWO-WEEK BAN

 

[Imhotep]

What's the Charlie Dixon precedent Adrain Anderson is talking about?

Hawthorn game last year. Dixon came down hard on a defenders neck while being tackled completely different circumstances.

 

[StuMan]

LOL




Also how * can you call it self defence?

 

[Frank Hansen II]

And Willem attracts a fine this week. Not sure why, much like Dixon the previous week no occasion comes to mind and it just seems like they want to fine our players for no reason. The more egregious incident (if there were any) from our game was Tanner Bruhn taking a late, cheap shot to Jonas'(?) ribs but that didn't even get a mention.

 

[Imhotep]

How this isn't 5 weeks I have no idea. He used an illegal fighting technique on a footy field, it has to have a more sevre penalty than lycetts tackle.

 

[Frank Hansen II]

LOL




Also how fu** can you call it self defence?

Always amazes me the slap on the wrist we see other teams get while our players regularly get 4 week bans for, seemingly, far less serious cases. The Lycett and Jonas ones being the first to readily come to mind.

2 weeks is horseshit

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

 

[FishingRick04]

It would be great to compare average suspension lengths for incidents Vic clubs v Interstate

 

[philreich]

This league is corrupt to the core.

 

[edgie]

I recall Freo targetting Gaff every time they could after that to the point that Simpson had to leave him on the bench

Please.

They were trying to get him on the ball.

They weren't going to belt him off the ball or with reportable offences. With fair hits on the body and tackles.

And they failed.

[It Just Is]

This case shows how out of step the AFL/MRO is with the average football fan. They continue to treat incidents like this, that occur way off the ball, liter than pure football accidents like ungainly tackles and mistimed contests.

Imagine how Plowman and Sam Reid

are feel after being told they should have reacted in 0.1 of a second and vanished into thin air to avoid contact while Viney can drive a calculated and prolonged elbow into the neck of a player in a defenseless position.

 

[Ljc_86]

If one of our boys did what Viney did I’d expect the club itself to step him down for a few weeks. It was a grub act and it’s clearly on the throat. I don’t mind a tussle but only when it’s fair. As soon as someone is on the ground it’s over

 

[Willsy10]

2 weeks, haha, half of the penalty of lycett. Wow.

Lol needed to be 4 or 5 weeks, actually send a message that you can’t be doing that on a footy field

 

[Capital Power]

Completely expected, but no less disappointing for that. Scotty gets twice as long for going on too long in a tackle - Viney's action was deliberate and calculated and could have crippled.

I hope we don't have to see a serious or life-threatening injury before the judiciary starts taking responsibility for stamping out thuggery in our game.

The MRO/tribunal needs to be independent of the league, and not subject to the demands of its paymasters.

would've been hung for something like that.

 

[philreich]

Did I hear correctly that Viney's defence counsel suggested that Collins contributed to the force of the contact?

 

[Capital Power]

Lol needed to be 4 or 5 weeks, actually send a message that you can’t be doing that on a footy field

What, and put a Big 4 Victorian team at greater risk of losing to an unwanted intruder in the finals??

Like that was ever going to happen

Funny how when it's one of our guys the trial by media invariably begins in the commentary box within 10 seconds of the incident and has no let up until the inevitable bloated suspension is handed down.

Compare that to "Oooooh, that's not really a part of Dangers game, i reckon it was more the jolt that knocked him out..."

 

[OneGreatClub]

Wow heading in soccer linked with a higher incidence of dementia in later life
