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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 19th February 2025

    Demonlander The Analyser was the sole Trackwatcher out at Casey Fields today to bring you the following observations from this mornings preseason training session. Training  was at Casey today. It consisted of a match simulation for one half  and then a free choice activity time.

I think Kolt looks like he’s im

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
