Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

I doubt that a motion would provide any solid evidence subsequent to Viney squaring up.

I did read a certain Mr Baum's report on the incidence, he too mentioned movements and whether certain body parts were closed or open. 

From what I could ascertain from the  report wasthat the major contribution that was made by Mr Baum was that certain bodilyorifices that were well and truly open.

Mr Baum If you can't discern something shut up.

I see Rancid's pathetic cheap shot on Watts has been forgotten. Only the fact that Viney 'attacked' him remains.

Such balanced reporting   ?

He's a smart kid Jack. So just to be silly and add more weight to conspiracy, I'll say he injured it early first qtr, realised how serious it was, knew that he would miss weeks and require surgery; (ruin any hope of a Brownlow). And when push came to shove, he thought stuff it...I'll give Ebert a few love taps just for kicks and see if I can stir my boys up and pull their finger out, at the same time send a warning out - you want to rough us up?... Here cop this.

Sounds fair.

A far more interesting conspiracy theory than many others to date

You all forget the report that Viney was seen exiting a surgery last week, reportedly about a finger/hand issue. He told reporters it was okay, to forget about it. Any money he went into the game with the issue...

Maybe seed that. Where was it reported?

After the game Ebert didn't have any swelling let alone a bruise. If Viney broke his knuckle punching Ebert to the face, Ebert would have had swelling and brushing straight away.

Interesting too that Ebert threw punches but had no case to answer. They appeared to be standing toe to toe and getting stuck into each other.

Good article on Viney on the ESPN website,

http://www.espn.com.au/afl/story/_/id/17269727/melbourne-football-club-jack-viney-ultimate-afl-athlete

I remember just before we drafted him (in the bruise-free era), he was referred to as a 'culture changer'. He is certainly living up to that reputation.

I really think Jack doesn't get talked up as much as he deserved, i personally think he's every bit as good as the Bont, Cripps or any young mid in the comp,

Was on AA pace until he got injured. He's now an elite midfielder of the comp. One of the club's heart and soul players. I reckon one day he'll lift the premiership cup for Melbourne.

I can't say that I was certain he'd become the player or influencor that he has, but the day he was selected as a father-son, slipping through to the 2nd round, I was listening to the Pre-draft Father-Son bidding on the radio while driving between sites.
I actually had to pull over because I was fist pumping that hard that I almost went off the road and I had a few stray tears in my eyes.
I didn't know, but I just had a inexplicably strong feeling that he really would make a difference and it was the start of us getting back on the right path.

Say what you want about Schwab, but I'm glad he circumvented the coaching staff and brought in Todd Viney when he did.

down in the gym he demands that of other people - he demands people put in effort and if someone's lifting and he thinks they could possibly put more on or they could have done another rep, then he'll have no shame in voicing that.

"In terms of leadership in the gym, I think just through his own actions and the way he approaches gym sessions, [he] is a real benchmark for others."

 

What a change to a few years ago when Melbourne Storm players used to laugh at our approach to gym work.

Aside from Mark Neeld quotes making me want to vomit, this is such a good article with plenty of insight into the character that is Viney.

I reckon someone else with his unremarkable traits- average height, average speed, average kick, would have turned out to be an ordinary run of the mill player. Instead Viney has become an extraordinarily talented midfielder, one of the best young talents in the competition, not because of his natural gifts, but because he worked harder than anyone.

What a brilliant culture changer to have around. 

I look forward to him holding that premiership cup as captain in a few years.

It was a Dermott Brereton tale on SEN. Never substantiated. Though like some rumours, I'm sure there was a kernel of truth in there.

A couple of things I've heard about Jack (albeit third hand):

He's been doing weights since the age of 9.

Jack had a very nasty fall from a tree during a bbq at the Viney house when aged about 3. Todd picked him up and yelled at him "my son does not cry!" right in front of his face.

Shouldn't be a question of valid bumping as this thread should be pinned.

Anyways, at one stage in the Saints match I vaguely recall Viney hit a Saint who careened off another Saint and left them both splayed on the ground - reminiscent of the Tom Lynch-Alex Georgiou carnage. I don't have access to replays. Think it was after half-time. A still would be appreciated here if anyone has the time . . .

Can someone who has better IT skills than me please put a gif/video/image of the look on Stringer's face at half time from Sunday's game in this thread?

He had a "oh [censored], Jack's mad at me, I better tell him I didn't do anything wrong" look about him.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
