Jack Viney Rising Star Nomination

[Jaded No More 68,915]

This quote from Jack in that interview really stood out for me:

"As the year goes you can one of two ways. You can either sook about it and give up, or you keep fighting. For me it's an obvious answer."

I just wish it was such an "obvious answer" for many of your team mates Jack!

Damn you, I was just about to quote that.

What a kid, one of only a handful in our team who isn't a soft cry baby, and recognises that he is the one who is going to change our fortunes rather than relying on others to do it.

Now officially my favourite Jack. Well done on a well deserved nomination you son of a gun!

[BrisbaneDemon 1,572]

Congratulations Jackie boy!!!

How many sons does Todd have? Geez we need a few more Viney's in the team!!!

[chookrat 4,250]

Love this guy! Well done Jack!

[billyblanks29 184]

Thank god for this kid. We need more hard competitive players like this. Viney, Hogan fit the mould. Something to build a team around. I really hope Watts pisses off coz he doesn't fit it

[Roos can't lose 43]

First position in our premiership side filled

Well done Jack, first for winning the Rising Star nomination and second for officially becoming Jaded's favourite.

Well deserved. The article on afl.com.au could use a bit of editing, though.

This quote from Neil Craig is the one that really stood out for me:

“The element that has really impressed me about Jack is that he really cares about wearing the Melbourne jumper; playing for Melbourne is more than just playing AFL football and he has great passion to change the perceptions of the Melbourne Football Club."

Good for Jack.

[DemonWA 3,934]

Theres nothing not to like about Jack Viney.

seeing him dive head first into packs keeps me going when we're 60+ points down, chasing our own tail. What a legend. Looks like todd too!

Absolutely, i had to edit the quote and signature!

Already ahead of ya'.

[McQueen 17,864]

Already ahead of ya'.

Shall we share?

[felixdacat 459]

Well done Jack V. What I love about Jack Viney when he gets the ball his first instinct is to move it forward not Faff about going backwards and he plays like the Energizer Bunny

[Guest]

Leading by example at age 19.

Will be a champion player in years to come

[Ted Lasso 19,518]

amazing the contrast between viney and watts! blokes like frawley and jones must love having him around

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Shall we share?

but of course! We could all use a bit Jack Viney inspiration during these dark dark times.

Congratulations Jackie boy!!!

How many sons does Todd have? Geez we need a few more Viney's in the team!!!

Doesn't Todd have another younger one on the way? Not sure if he is as good as jack but how good would that be! Anyone able to confirm?

Hopefully with stretch looking good in the u 16 in sa, we can replace some of the duds we now have with some sons of the 80s champs. I enjoyed going to the footy and actually winning during that era!!

I don't know why you have picked out Watts other than he has vocalised his indifference.

With the idiom that actions speak louder than words - you could pick out the performances of most of the team (and some who have left) over the last few years to contrast against Viney.

Our culture is pathetic and it didn't start with Watts' lack of physicality nor end with his dithering over his contract.

I hope those lamenting his weak efforts don't forget that fact.

Congratulations to Jack on his Rising Star nomination and to Todd and Megan.

A future captain.

What a pity some of his teammates haven't embraced his passion. We'd be in a different place right now.

After Sunday's game my nephew felt ashamed to have the number 4 on the back of his guernsey and said he was going to change it to 7 for 2014. He's also going to play his junior footy wearing the number 7 in honour of Jack.
