Viney proud to be a Demon

Featured Replies

watch Viney Jnr today will throw himself at every contest and kill himself to help the team and he will be like that every game he ever plays in his career just a joy to watch

His competitiveness and physicality is inspirational. His sheer desire for the contest was so stark against some others yesterday as to be like a lightning bolt of revelation.

This club just can't afford to carry some of the players we give credit to on here, and Jack Viney yesterday just made it ridiculously clear. The 3 that stand out for me are :

Jack Watts. I've been a fan because of his talent, but have realised we simply MUST get rid of him. His lack of physicality at the contest, and absence of hunger is staggering. Poisonous even.

Jeremy Howe. I know. As per Watts, and sadly the highlights don't compensate. He's just NOT competitive when the body has to get involved, other than throwing himself at marks. The opposition know it, play him appropriately and he becames utterly ineffective.

Sam Blease. Terrible lack of anything but speed. Basically the opposite in speed and desire to Jordie McKenzie, and of much less worth. A pretender.

 

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.

I love that analogy.

It must be a very lonely group the poor kid is in!

I actually feel sorry for him.

He could easily be Robbie Flower all over again.

 

And even he will be surpassed by Jack Martin.

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

That's when we get in and go for Prestia. We should stay in his ear and ensure he comes to us for his next contract.

Sorry. Back to Viney. He was pretty much the only one I was clapping yesterday.

My favourite part of yesterday, which was yet another horrible day that made my eyes bleed, was watching Viney literally frog jump over a pack of players to try and get the ball.

He smashed his nose, got it strapped up, went back on, and did it again. It was amazing.

He has a good burst of speed, which is all he really needs, and he just kept running and running and running, even when we were down on rotation and other midfielders came off the ground looking absolutely stuffed.

He is enormous, and Jones must bloody love having someone else in there to help him.

On a side note, I think McKenzie has been very important for us over the past two weeks. His tagging jobs have made our clearance work a lot better. Shame that once we get the ball out we turn it over.


I actually think we have some decent mids to work with - trenners, jones, Viney and Mckenzie as a lock down tagger. Clearly we need another four good mids to work with them. I think Sylvia has value in the mid rotations. Other than that the cupboard is bare.

But geesh we are ordinary around the flanks and pockets (these are the players that should form part of the midfield rotations). We are a long long way back.....

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
