Jack Viney played in yesterday's trials for the forthcoming Under 18 championships and, from a mate who was there, the reports  are good. Although he is bottom aged (i.e doesn't turn 18 till next year) he came under notice for his strong play and  good footskills.

I suppose there is plenty of time to knock that out of him. Can't have him upsetting team balance :)

 

FWIW, I spoke to an inside observer of Jack's footy at Carey, and he is apparently 'scary tough', fast and hard. I know it's only school footy, but it sounds like he might just be a chip off the old block.

I would love to know his current height.

Well his old man was tough and hard, an absolute bullock. One of my faves.

lookin forward to jack...shame he is 18 - 24 months away

have to be careful not to track the kid too closely as only a young fella

the expectation (Watts) could be ridiculous

Another Carey insider told me that Jack was told to tone it down his bumps when he was only 14, because other players just didn't know how to brace for a big hit!

Play him against the blues.

My smile is back Thanks again DC


Some say his favourite colour is invisible to the human eye...

Some say he can make young girls pregnant just by winking at them...

Others say his pubic hair is used to make steel wool...

He is... JACK VINEY.

Don't worry, we'll have him in Ladd'ettes to Ladd'ies in No time. :)


From the bigfooty boards discussing the under 18 champs trials, these guys generally know some good stuff about the juniors so heres the small part on viney:

"Viney worth a mention too, for the dees supporters. Good little hard nut, nice skills by foot when he gets outside. Slightly outmuscled a time or two, to be expected considering he's playing against bigger and older blokes, but tracking really well for an underager."

reply:

"Outmuscled? I believe he nearly killed a kid with one of the best blocks I have ever seen at a level under the elite.."

And the follow up to that, by "Humble Minion":

Was a great hit, wasn't it? Big, low, cross-body bump using every gram of his body weight. Can't quite remember who it was on though - Haynes maybe, or perhaps Marusic? Bigger bloke anyway, and stopped him in his tracks.

Was more referring to him *almost* getting a couple of very nice burst clearances from traffic, but being unable to get that last step to break a one-handful-of-jumper tackle. But I reckon he'll be doing it just fine next year.

Can't wait for this kid.

Third youngest in Vic Metro, pretty good - he'll get another shot next season (unless GWS do the 17-year-old-trade-to-Dees thing) I think?

Would love to see him on the track in red and blue next year, and on the paddock the next :)

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
