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.

Sure it's not the STIG!!

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.

That sounds like a 4 match sanction.

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 :)

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
