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!

    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 :P

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

    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."

    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!

    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

  • Quote

    Leading by example at age 19.

    Will be a champion player in years to come

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

  • Quote

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
