The Jack Viney bump that never was!


Matt Demon

Recommended Posts

The second line of the two-line article on the MFC website says "Viney challenged his two-match suspension for rough conduct at the appeals board and his initial penalty was upheld."

I think Burgs might've been a little bit excited when he wrote that and wasn't concentrating.

Or, as Hendel put it long ago:

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
For the Lord Jack, omnipotent reigneth
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

It is a great result for us, Viney will still need to temper his game somewhat though.
Jack needs to harness his aggression and use it at appropriate times.

He wasn't bull at a gate in this instance, but there are times he is.

Viney needs to find two speeds, not just one.

I don't think this incident deserved to even be cited, but hopefully Jack can make a positive out of it.

God knows we need him this weekend, we are a big chance.

Barrett is a smarmy tool

Viney free to play. Hot damn....GO DEES

Even mentioning his name gives the ambulance chasing gutter crawling grub more oxygen than he deserves. We should just be ignoring the [censored] he likes it when people get angry at him as long as they're clicking his articles. Controversy creates cash, Barrett is playing a classic heel but he's just a pencil-necked geek.

Great result. I love the way @jackviney7 attacks the footy. Now bring on the doggies.

Clark bleeds red and blue ... not Maroon, blue, and gold.

If Clark ever returns to football I think it will be for the MFC

Great use of the wrestling term pencil-necked geek,Classy Freddie Blassie would be proud.

What a great week for this club. The re-branding of it is well and truly underway.

1. We beat the Crows against the odds in Adelaide. It was a bloody sensational win.

2. Our young gun, Jack Viney, is then the victim of a truly disgraceful tribunal decision. The entire football community gets behind him. Footage is shown throughout the week that depicts our young bull playing the very opposite of 'bruise free' football. Everyone in the continent watches it.

3. The new regime at the MFC stands behind our young bull and makes a statement to the AFL world - it appeals the decision.

4. Given the history of unsuccessful appeals, quite unbelievably, against the odds, our appeal is upheld.

For the first time in a while, it feels really good to be a Demons supporter.

Thank you Paul Roos. Thank you Peter Jackson. Thank you Josh Mahoney. And thank you Jack Viney.

Special mention to the 22 players who took the field last weekend, the assistant coaches and Mr Grace QC.

    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

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    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
