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

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?

Jones is 180cm tall.

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

The opposition must have been pretty disciplined.

Speaking of Jack Viney, this is relevant :

Can't be bothered to read through all the posts on this thread, but DeeTV uploaded a Jack Viney highlights package to youtube today:

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.

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

Agreed. He also appears to be very good at shrugging tackles and getting rid of it quickly.

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

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

2-3 weeks for the tackle at 0.38 sec

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!

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.
