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?

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.

  • 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.
