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!

Dean Kent goes OK for a first year player too.

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

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!

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!!

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

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.

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    Last week Captain Max Gawn consolidated his lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Alex Neal-Bullen & Jake Lever make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Blues. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
