is there any way that we could change your pic and or name, because your pessimistic opinion on just about everything really brings down the legacy of the one and only R flower

If anything in recent times i have found RF unusually optimistic, and a forum would be boring if everyone agrees on all topics? it would just be a whole lot of arse slapping no?

    Actually, everybody could disagree with everyone and the forum could still be boring, and everyone could agree and it could be very interesting. What makes footy forums interesting for me is depth of opinion and understanding, not how much everyone disagrees.

    Without glancing at the previous 11 pages on here as it looks like its full of petty bickering, does anyone know:

    a) If Jack Viney has been given permission to play games at Casey Scorpions this year?

    B) If he may be a chance to be spotted going through his paces at our first training session in ten days time?

    Thanks

    In one of Jack Viney's interviews he said he was looking forward to playing for Casey next year and to train with the MFC players, but I do not know if we have sought or received permission for him to play for Casey yet.

    I am not sure on what basis the AFL can determine who plays in the VFL.

    Hayden Hector popped up in the VFL a few times this year, did he not?

    I love that intro (from memory) -"Jack Viney used to tackle so hard and so often that it was suggested - not so quietly - that he move up an age group. He was nine at the time."

    It's in him, the hunger. Looking forward to 2013 already.

    My mate is playing for Oakleigh this season and is training with Viney. I will keep you all informed into his progress, running drills, body size etc.

    What i do know is that the squad is doing a lot of running atm as would be expected as they only started last week. Sprinting up hills 40-60 m then 2 min breaks are the hardest from what he says and Viney is at the front every time. I'm liking the size of it already!!

    He was at the 1st day of pre season a few weeks back and looked to be keeping up In all the running drills he took part In. He may of also of grown a bit because he and Nathan Jones were standing along side each other and they looked exactly the same height to me. What's Jones's height? 179-180?

    I can't wait to see Jack Viney in the red and blue.

    Hard to believe that a team containing those players could have lost a grand final.

    The opposition must have been pretty disciplined.

    Jack says, "it's my footy!"

    Love his work off the footy too after he's given it off.

    From that short clip, it looks like he has all of his old man's hardness and determination, but with much neater disposal.

  • Quote

    Doesn't he look a beauty and couldn't have timed his arrival any better imo.

  • Quote

    Certainly kicks better than his old man (and one with the "wrong" foot)

  • Quote

    My only skeptical comment would be his pace at around the 1.00 mark of the video, before he slots the goal. He could easily just be strolling in but the other kid was bearing down on him like a freight train.

    Might just be picky?

    Or he was steadying for the kick and had good awareness....

    Yeah strolling in isnt the best way for me to say it..... was meaning that

    His anticipation looks quite extraordinary. Can see where the ball is going and nothing stops him getting there.

    Nice.

    2-3 weeks for the tackle at 0.38 sec

    The tackle at 52 seconds is much more likely to cop a few weeks!

  • Quote

    Don't want to be the "Devils Advocate".

    But that was against boys. I'm just grateful he will get a full season of VFL under his belt before he plays in 2013.

    Because with the reputation that will preceed him in that 1st game he plays, he will be hammered like there is no tomorrow.

    Typically "Welcome to the Big Time Jack"

    I'm still looking forward to it and what he dishes back. It''ll be worth going a long way to see.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
