They were the same posters claiming Bail was going to have a break out year after 6 years in the system. A hard runner perfectly suited to Roos' game style, they said.

Oh, were they?

There's nothing like blatantly making stuff up to argue against a point nobody made.

Don't underestimate the degree of difficulty with that tackle. I've never seen a tackle as good as that on a "Don't Argue". I'd honestly rate it as one of the best, and comparable to Nathan Carroll's tackle on Gehrig back in 2006.

It's just a shame it still ended up in a Saints goal not long after it.

Back in the days when anything seemed possible, Luke 'Bull' Tapscott gave Rhys Shaw one mighty shoulder in the chest (and I believe) broke some of his ribs.

Luckily Viney delivers this kind of behaviour on a consistent basis.

Well you see Stu, unlike yourself, some posters make comments that are worthy or memorable or just make good sense. Think that through carefully.

I find him very vanilla, our little stu. Has the personality and the humour of a dried up piece of wholemeal toast

Hey! I like wholemeal toast. Better than the suburban white bread you find in the bakeries of small towns such as Romsey. Much like their inhabitants.

Sorry to tell you, but he told me they were plucked from his great aunt in a nursing home in Burwood, I believe. Do you know her?

I like this thread. I like the fact that I'm confident it will be bumped (like Viney's hapless opponents) many times over the next 8 - 10 years.

Love how brutal our midfield is becoming. We seriously have some of the best tacklers in the league in Viney, Riley and Brayshaw.

Whoever has coached this new hard mindset into the players this year, most evident in the player that Bernie's become, thank you.

The problem with Riley is he far to often goes for these charging rugby style tackles, yes they're going to hurt the opposition, but they don't prevent the player from getting rid of the footy as they're arms are not pinned.

His hardness is natural..that loss didnt hurt as much because guys like Viney,Hogan and Toumpas had such great games.

Absolutely right. At full pace too. A "don't argue" stops the tackler grabbing your body, but if they have the presence of mind to grab your arm, you're totally stuffed.

Love the way Weller realised he was in deep trouble the moment Viney grabbed his arm and used it to pull him in closer. Then he really found out how much trouble he was in.

And I can't wait for Dustin Martin to try the "don't argue" again on Viney.

What about his post match interview when asked about when it started to get nasty with Selwood -"I love that [censored]". Put that on a t-shirt.

I love Jack VIney

Thats why Cross has been so important.

He has been the leader for viney and the 2 years we get out of Cross will help fast track viney.

Yesterday Crossy led all across the ground and made sure the younger player's got to opponents at every stoppage.

    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.
