WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JACK VINEY

Featured Replies

23 for mine - has been a hard nut jumper at the Dee's - junior, Al Clarkson (IIRC) - as well as being an all round long time favourite jumper at most clubs. Quite deliberately not his dads, nor taking on the poisoned chalice

 

That's a pretty disrespectful thing to say to the guy who currently wears it. I'd also say Clint Biz had cred.

Agreed.

Sylvia should step aside and give him #12. Like David Williams did for Jack's old man.

Surely you are either taking the [censored] or are on it. Why the hell should Sylvia give up his number ?

Dirty Dave Williams made way for no-one. We delisted him with the intention of redrafting while he recovered from a knee reco. That blew up in our faces when wily Kevin Bartlett drafted him to Richmond.

All of which is irrelevant anyway as he wore 15, not 12

 

I am not going to run away from a number because some simpleton ran away from the club.

Give it to Viney or give it Tynan or give it to Comp pick number 2, but don't mothball it because of HWFUA.

Totally agree rpfc.

I was thinking the other day that it would be good for our club to stop adding pressure to our early draft picks before they've even played a game by giving them a club significant number.

Start them all somewhere in the 40's and when they prove themselves and sign their first contract then find them something significant.

Don't parade them out in the MCG boardroom along side club greats receiveing a significant number before them even broken a sweat.


Give Jack the iconic number 31 and announce it sooner rather than later. I don't believe in curses, or other such nonsense, and I'd love to see the great number 31 running around and I'd love to be proud of the wearer. It will also be great for the many young kids that currently have the stench of the Scully aftermath lying in their drawer. Barassi was as hard as nails and many junior watches say that Viney is the hardest junior they've seen. David King summed it up beautifully the other morning on SEN when he named his predicited top 10 players in the league in 5 years time and included Viney in the 5-10 bracket even though he's not even officially on an AFL list. He noted, "Jack Viney loves hurting people". It nearly brought a tear to my eye.

I don't believe in rotating numbers. Give a player a number and allow them the chance to create history in it.

Couldn't agree more, I'm sick of the club parading the new recruits in numbers that have a history at the club. Our most recent legend of the club started at number 38, and he forged a career, built the respect of his teammates and coaches and got promoted to no. 9 and made it famous.

Start him high or give him 23, Sylvia is has made 12 his own.

I think our current #38 might be going down the same path.

Dirty was a great player, with fantastic hands.

He may very well but not voluntarily.

I agree 100% and probably also contributes to the mentality that is apparent within the playing group that making the AFL is all the achievement they need.

Who cares? Give him 77 as far as I'm concerned. Let J Viney make his own history.

This is the first time I've seen this one. I can't work it out myself. He who...f***ed? fled? I can't work it out.

try a bit harder t_u, youll get it


I wonder if he now actually wants a number at the Dees

Ah Bluey, give it a rest mate. Go back to Ology'

#1 seems perfect for Viney. The lowest number at the club and the 2 names that come to mind are Warnock and Heffernan. It's time for someone like a Viney to do something with it.

Just a heads up JV will be playing tomorrow for Casey If you wanna come and have a look

How did he go?

  • 2 weeks later...

didnt want to start a new thread but jack played in the AIS squad today in curtain raiser for tigers blues match and tore it up not sure on stats but was getting talked up on the radio aswell as lauchie whitfield who will go no1


anyone know where the stats are for that game? some boffin will have kept them (bless them)

This is off the afl website

Viney looks ready to follow in his dad Todd's footsteps and don a Demons guernsey right now. The hard-at-it onballer gathered 16 disposals, 10 of which were contested, laid six tackles, kicked a goal and gained six clearances.

    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?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    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.

    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?
