Jack Viney - Age article

Never give up pal. I think I stopped growing just after MFCs last premiership. Maybe I'll get that late spurt when we win the next flag

And more trivia - Doc (mr. Magic) Baldock held down CHF in a premiership side at 177cm (5'10") - think about it, that's Marric playing CHF!

I agree and Liam Jurrah is only 188 cms & champion or at least very very good Full forward in Modra & Dunstall were the same height - and we are all crying out for a monster Full forward at least 195cms tall.However, my friend-Daisycutter- there is NO NO hope of you and I having a groth spurt - the only way we would do it -is outways - getting more rotund..Got it??

what if we put extra long stops in his boots...we should even add some built in spring so he can play in the ruck...we can nick name him jumping jack

I can assure you jcb, when the dees win the next flag I'll feel at least a foot taller B)

I have to disagree Hannabal, we have to worry about all these things....I mean I worry about the fact that on the way to school he might be stopping to buy a coke what happens in the next two years if he drinks a lot of coke...we know the danger to people's teeth when you drink a lot of coke...

so as well as not growing after the age of 16, i want to add the coke worry as well to the list of worries I have about young Jack.

But why stop there, i also worry that he might stay up watching too much TV, which could affect his eyesight, then how would he know where the ball lands after its bounced, let alone be able to spot our forwards if he is streaming out of defense.

I mean there are so many things we need to worry about.

I think the best thing for us would be to not draft him, so that we can stop worry and stressing for the next two years

This reads like that painful Wayne the worrier advert sounds

So what was Todd Viney? My estimate is 185cm and 88 kg.

Todd played at about 6 foot. He was about 180 - 183 area from memory. Went at it like a bull. Great tenacity.

I've always wondered about that. Neitz wasn't that huge. Lloyd who's the best of the last 15 years or so was 191. I think mostly people want Nick Riewoldt. And even he is only 193. Jack is 195.

Almost no kids stop growing at 16! What the hell is this?

Even I didn't stop growing at 16.

Some kids have barely started their 'run' by then.

Geezus.

The kid can play, is all we really know.

not too mention there are about 50 other components of what makes a player good or not

some here would take a slow, unco, pea-hearted, lazy hack who is 190 cm over a complete gun who is 189 cm. Crazy.

Just as long as he doesn't make it to 192cm.

Just as long as he doesn't make it to 192cm.

Hey, hey, he can make it to 192cm and still be a star...as long as he grows past it first!
