WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JACK VINEY

Featured Replies

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.

Yeah your right, but i see him taking it more the way Bull did, having a big enough body to dish some back in reality. Viney is solid, he doesnt have a mans body quite yet but he doesnt have a kids either. also he will have 1.5 preseason under his belt in reality.

 

That's the first footage I've seen of him playing and (even if it is against kids) I am really impressed. He seems to have a knack of finding a bit of space and time. He's clearly a terrier when he tackles and his disposal looks decent. It's also pretty clear that his understanding with the ruck was spot on. If he develops that sort of bond with big Max we'll be laughing for the next decade.

just watched the highlights and...A LEFTY WITH A RIGHT BOOT!!!

exciting looking talent, seems to have good disposal by foot and hand and takles like a trengove.

very exciting times to come

Devil's advocate?? More like muppet master. What kind of comment is that?? He was playing against players older than himself. Doesn't change his speed or commitement to the contest.

You really need to check what team you follow.

I watch the vision of his highlights for Vic Metro and recall the ripping game he played in the TAC Cup grand final and I know one thing.

Even though his team, the Oakleigh Chargers produced the most players selected from one club in all of Australia including three of the top 11 picks who went to GWS - Congratulations to Oakleigh Chargers Magnificent 7 - we have the best of the lot of them and he's still a year away from being drafted.

I'd like to put him in cotton wool for 12 months, give him the #31 jumper now and unleash him in round one, 2013, preferably against Sheedy's mob if he still has the gig.

Bring it on!


 

3 weeks for that tackle at 53 seconds

God I wish he could play next year.

If Tim Watson could play at 15 why can't we play this kid already???


Reminded me of Boomer Harvey (whom I detest) the way he can extract the ball from a contest and find space...

More Daniel Kerr than Scott West.

Actually, I think he looks a bit Todd Viney. Very fierce at the ball and the player. Unfortunately, on the limited amount of vision available, his kicking action looks a bit that way as well. Hopefully they are addressing this now!

To those saying he's just playing against boys, anyone think of the fact that he was bottom aged and playing against the best of the best in the U18 carnival? Really we should be talking about how this young bottom aged kid was able to monster older opponents...

Joel Selwood-like in my opinion.

Is it known if he will play Under 18's in 2012 or will he actually play some games at Casey?

I understood the club have to ask the AFL if they will allow him to play games with the Scorps..?

Clarification?

This is my understanding, we will or have asked, not clarification to my knowledge, would be great for him, Swallow did it for the GC so it better not be an expansion thing....

IMPORTANT QUESTION,

Does Jack have a brother? and if not why the hell not!!!!!

Brother's name is Max and is a couple of years younger.

Let's hope that he avoids the pressure of bang Jack's younger brother and if he wants to play football will be able to do so on his own name and ability without being compared with Jack.

God he reminded me of Scotty West in that #7!

Reminds me of Jack Viney

If he even wants to play football, might like soccer, would be nice if he can though

Well this story doesnt bode well for the short term:

"However, lingering groin problem osteitis pubis has continued to bother Viney" -

Jack Viney eager to take on next challenge

Let's hope he gets the OK from the powers that be to play a season in the VFL this year.

If MFC were to trade its 1st pick next year then another team before us on draft day picks Jack Viney, does that mean we can't pick him. And how do the compensatory picks for scully fit into this?

No once we nominate him as Father son he is ours, the Father son bidding takes place at the start of Trade week if someone below us on the ladder is willing to use there first round pick Jack will cost us our first round pick. The Compensatory Picks for Scully don't come into the picture at all for Father Son only you standard Draft picks. Due to the club committing to Viney the clubs below us on the ladder will make us give up our first round pick in the draft.

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.

Watch out Mr Dunderfield!!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
