Jack Viney - Interview



Recommended Posts

I get on with young Jack and have had quite a few chats with him, we share a love of hip hop music which he finds highly amusing as there is 42 yr age difference between us, spoke to him at training today.....told him he would have to put up with the comparisons with other players from now on.....laughed and said "i've got them covered".........I try not to put players on pedestals coz invariably they let you down, but MFC have got themselves a live one......I reckon a few games in and we will see the midfield we all crave

It made me laugh that when he came out and said "if the MFC club don't pick me, I will make them regret it" people were screaming on social media that he's arrogant blah blah blah. Every great players needs that confidence and arrogance! He is bloody exciting to have on this list, Toumpas and Hogan will be handy for us. But this is the bloke to build a list around! You need guys to come in that want to play with Jack! If we suck all year it will be exciting to watch him improve all year! Love him already!

Viney and Toumpas will each be elite. Importantly though, elite in different ways.

You can build a midfield around this combination.

And (dreaming now) if we could ever bring Wines into the side, these musketeers would have a field day in opposition territory ...

Wines would be a great addition, there's no doubt about it, and if we'd had pick 5,6 or 7 I'm sure we would have grabbed him. But not ahead of Hogan, who we effectively got with 4.

As far as balance goes, I'm still happy with the choice of Toumpas overall. There's no sign that he's 'just' an outsider, and he's got a well balanced build, but I think the choice is based on the sound reasoning that we will probably get at least a couple of 'adequate' tough mids out of our host of mature strong bodies coming through like Magner, Taggert, M. Jones, Terlich, Couch and Kent.

Jack Viney is clearly not in it just for sh!ts and giggles. More of his attitude, please!

I think him and Wines in our midfield would have been lethal... Can always dream of the future. I'm sure Toumpas will be a winner also!

Tompas's response to the loss, as reported by Neeld, isn't to be scoffed at either. Someone who takes his responsibilities seriously, and cares about the result. Depressing that it has to come from players such as these as opposed to the senior players, but if it's all we got, it's all we got.

Im assuming you've repeated the last four words for literary effect Bing.

Jack Viney is a real professional but Jesse Hogan is a similar type with plenty of mongrel. I met him at training this morning and he is also a big unit. A player to watch out for is Dean Kent. Rory Taggert told me that he will be a fine player for the MFC and that he is a tough, skilful player.

Told Jimmy Toumpas at training that he had not let any of us supporters down and he seemed to really appreciate the positive feedback. I think players like Tom Gillies, Cameron Pedersen and David Rodan really need positive feedback from the supporters as they seem to be suffering from a lack of confidence. Maybe if they get this then they will develop into solid contributors for us.

Jack will lead us out. There is no doubt about this at all. It's just a matter of time and getting the right crew around him who are 110% committed goers. Jack is a man you can build a champion team around and will be a magnet for other players to come play with....IF we get e'thing right on and off the field.

I can feel the sniff of a champion in the wind at the MFC....at long last.

C'mon Demons. Time to rally round the old flag

From all I can gather, he really is a stellar young chap. I had been so excited about him coming to our club, without even seeing him play. Now that I've seen what he has to offer, I'm ecstatic. I just hope that he's one of those players that inspires everyone else around him, without actually trying to.

I am looking forward to Kent playing his first AFL game, I'm sure he will have an impact.

When VIney hit that pack and took the ball cleanly out of the air and went for a run down the G' with a few bounces then drilled a 50 metre pass o to the chest of Howe..

The hairs on your neck just stood up.

Also, how shameful that there is not one video on Youtube of Vineys first game hughights. At least upload his first goal. Terrible effort from DeeTV, but youd expected a fan would have done it ehemselves anyway.

If Byrnes puts in another mediocre performance you might see it in Rd 3.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
