Just had a look at that. The difference is that Viney's was entirely legal. If Whelan did that today he wouldn't play for 12 weeks.

ah, but it would be 'Love a lee' ...

don't want to hit by a truck, don't play on the road.

Jack Viney is better than advertised

I knew he'd be good but hes looking like absolute superstar material already

I remember some people querying his pace pre draft, I guess thats just cos he was known as an inside midfielder

the boy is FAST

and he doesn't have the Numero Uno mantle, to bog him down.

It really was a fantastic piece of play from Jack and it's a real shame that it was highlighted in a negative way because of the MRP/tribunal and all the controversy that followed.

It's sad that a young player has been put out of the game for 6 weeks because of the incident but I'm sure he would understand that it is part of the game that collisions are going to occur, I really wish him all the best with his recovery as he seems like a very talented player who's had a poor run of luck with injuries.

Viney, Tyson and JKH just ooze leadership group in a few years.

And the best part is - we don't need them to be leaders.

And that's probably why they are thriving.

What a father-son combination! According to the Herald Sun's picture editor, one of the Bulldog players was being tackled by Todd Viney. An understandable error as the Viney in the picture in yesterday's Herald Sun was hidden behind the Bulldog so the editor had to guess which Viney it actually was.

Reverend as you are well aware we have canonised a number of players over the last six years and most are not at the club anymore.

Did you read these three lines?

"Yes he looks good but let the kid develop without the messiah label.

I know we are desperate for someone to love after nearly decade of crap.

But lets acknowledge he is looking good but not yet the messiah"

Is there anything wrong with this?

I enjoy watching him play as much as you but so far he has shown a lot of promise IMO nothing more than that.

Some of the orgasms on here are a bit over the top.

All I'm saying OD is that sometimes you've just got to let yourself go. I understand what you're saying but I'm prepared for disappointment at any moment and will deal with it if it comes. I'm enthused at the moment and my natural optimism is being fueled by some visibly significant improvement. At the moment, the lid is off and the jar is half full. When we beat Richmond next week by 37 points I expect to see you unscrewing the lid and letting the good times in.

My metaphors are getting messy. A bit like the orgasms!

For all his good attributes Jack has one flaw he needs to fix ASAP and it bloody irritates me that players get to this level and have this issue.....

HE'S ONE SIDED!

He tried to kick once on his right foot on Saturday night and it was a roller. Was also run down because he couldn't get on his left side. No player is complete if they can't kick at least competently with their non-preferred foot.

Your lucky to have the problem Reverend!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
