Geelong vs AIS-AFL Academy at MCG (Friday)

[Pinball Wizard 326]

I believe that Jack Viney is a member of this year's AIS-AFL Academy and since Geelong VFL Side are taking on the AIS-AFL Academy team at MCG tomorrow at 4:20pm, there's a chance that those who go to the game might see him in live action for the first time. I can't guarantee it because I haven't as yet seen the selected team.

The game is a curtain raiser to Richmond vs Collingwood game.

Gates Open at 4pm.

Since being selected into the AIS-AFL intake, Jack Viney has moved with his family back to Victoria. He is on the Oakleigh Chargers' list where he is shown as being 178cm 77kg. He will wear # 20 for that team this year.

So Jack's grown 3cm from last year if the height shown on the list is correct.
