Viney proud to be a Demon


Guest

Recommended Posts

Players like Viney, Hogan and Toumpas who seriously hurt after a loss, hate losing and not getting the best out of themselves. That is where our future is. Anyone that doesn't fit this future can go as far as I am concerned and this includes Mr Watts.

I think you are right big fella.

This is why I am excited for our future.... Viney, to me, seems like the type of man that pushes his team mates and him self to be the absolute best they can be.. he is a culture setter.

There was a moment today where a couple of vigorous Viney efforts visibly lifted team mates around him. It increased their appetite for tackling at that particular stoppage. It was brilliant. LEADERSHIP. He's a little ripper.

A class below.

Skill wise I agree but it's like comparing Selwood to Hodge. Viney will never have the footskills of O'Meara, but Jaeger will never have the heart or courage of Jack. I'd like both but I'm more than content that by the end of their careers they'll be compared to each other.. Which for both I think is a huge compliment.

He makes watching us worth the pain. I haven't seen anyone throw is body in with such determination since his old man.

Just as good as him, make no mistake.

if Viney was playing for another club we would be praising him as the second coming of Joel Selwood/Michael Voss.

I've been following him since he was 8, so it's fair to say I'm a fan. And it's no slight to say O'Meara is better. O'Meara is the best young midfielder I've ever seen.

Each to their own.

Jaeger O'Meara looks like the product of Soviet Russian genetic engineering, whereas Jack Viney looks like a young man who was raised with wolves.

Who would win? God knows, but you can bet I wouldn't want to come between them and a football.

And even he will be surpassed by Jack Martin.

The Suns are going to have one hell of an engine room.

Agree, and I don't think it is a put down to Jack in anyway, O'Meara for me is up there with Judd for 1st year impact, Viney for us is exactly what we need and will be a quality player, leader & culture maker for this club.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    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
