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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
