WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JACK VINEY

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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

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...

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?

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

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
