The Jack Viney Made Me Cry Thread

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?

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.

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.

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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
