WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JACK VINEY

[Deestroy All 14,266]

Have there ever been more stories or "I heard" anecdotes about one kid? Dwayne the moron Wussell is going to have a field day.

Anyway, I heard the final Expandables movie is only going to have one cast member, Jack Viney. There's an evil clone of him and they have to fight 'til the death. The movie goes for 9 hours and there is no ending.

tsk tsk you omit the AFL TOC first rover, HOF Legend and triple brownlow medallist Bobby (Chimp) Skilton. He was actually proficient with both feet (more accurate on left) and a renowned expert of the daisycuttter

Before my time, but would have loved to see him play.

[spirit of norm smith 16,656]

Welcome aboard Jack Viney. A future leader & a tough inside mid. Hallehulah. Good luck and lets unleash Hell.

[H_T 3,049]

I'm pretty stoked Jack's gone second round. Watching him perform in the U18 GF last year I was pretty impressed. Can't wait to see him in the jumper, sit back and watch him progress and perform.

I'm also happy for the little black ducks out there too.

yes, it seems like only yesterday for me.Just so skilful. A footballer's footballer

[Pennant St Dee 13,415]

Todd was my favourite Dee and would have been gutted had we missed out on Jack, love hard nuts and we need them. From what I have seen everything about this kid has had me saying just get this kid.

Couldn't be happier, icing on the cake for me would be Hogan & Toumpas!

Welcome Jack looking forward to seeing you run out next year

[Lord Travis 10,805]

Stoked to have Jack Viney at the club. Here's to a long and prosperous career in Red n Blue!

I heard the movie 'Braveheart' is not actually about William Wallace, it is a biopic about JV. Same with 'Gladiator'.

[Deemort 28]

His number ? Possibly 26? Lol

Has already been asked what number he would like a while back and his response was "24.... because I'm twice as good as the old man" Cheeky bugger!

[Disco Demons 92]

Oakleigh made the grand final this year. Jack played for them last year i believe.

Did Jack play for Oakleigh in the u18's grand final this year?

if not...why not?

Was decided by the Club that he'd play for Casey and school footy (where he could) for the year, leaving him no time to play for the Chargers.

IIRC Jack didn't play TAC cup this year, as he was playing VFL until his broken jaw

Edit: Beaten to it

[Philthy 284]

If you ask me...Jack Viney number 31 jumper! Has the barassi mongrel/confidence in him!

[Miles from Nowhere 199]

Locker 26 would already have J(ay) Viney on it - or perhaps not with only 23 games for Uncle Jay.

Here's to all the cry-babies who said we shouldn't or wouldn't take Jack with 3 or that we couldn't, shouldn't or wouldn't do a deal to get him in the second round ...

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,339]

Anyone that thinks Viney is purely an inside mid go and watch his highlights on MFC website. His initial acceleration is excellent which is more important than speed over longer distances.

I came on to write the exact same thing. His acceleration looks extremely good. It's been an issue of mine recently with Melbourne players such as Trengove and Watts who do not put enough in to their first five steps. Viney will shake the midfield up next year.

that makes three of us... funny that...

he's referred to as an inside mid, but I see him doing more of his damage outside as he spreads from the contest so well... he's ability at the champs to not only win the ball, but then get on his bike and get it back, shows he can really do some damage outside as well as in...

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

This guy has captain written all over him. He knows all the right things to say, very impressed such a good speaker for a kid of such a young age.

I was smilling the whole way through that interview.

Number 26.

Lol..

I don't want to hear any words about any curse from now on. The football gods can smile on us too.

I think the dark clouds are clearing up. I am jacked!!!!

#12 for JV, I wore #12 way back in year 12 in '92 as TV was and still is my favourite Dee. If JV lives up to his old man I'll be a very happy chappy. if Col don't like giving up 12 for the son of a gun he can have a preseason boxing match against JV.... I'd back the kid

You know Sylvia's nickname is "The Kid".

You really want Sylvia to have ANOTHER injury-interrupted preseason?

[beelzebub 23,390]

If Barty moves on and 3 is available then symbolically is everything his old man was,added up,as well as being the real value (pick) he was/is to us.

It's just an if.

Not a bad thought, however if either of 3 or 5 are available i'd give them to Hogan IMO.

31 to Viney - uncompromising ruck rover, driven to succeed
