The Jack Viney Made Me Cry Thread

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.

And the good news is that Jack is not alone in "loving that [censored]". We were as hard as them today and weren't intimidated when they tried to rough us up in the third term.

Watching the Stretch/Neal-Bullen interview and there is a whole group of younger players in this Club who don't carry any scars and believe in the process. They won't be easily swayed.

Then there is the likes of Hogan and Brayshaw who, to be honest, I'm probably most excited about since the arrival of Scwarz and Neitz. We will make the 8 next year

    Hit & run.

    Edit: Selwood- "WTF was that?- get the number - 7 - need that for the insurance claim" " Note to self - That Viney is a hard [censored], bring more tissues and bandages for next time, nah, might have general soreness next time."

    Think he was actually thinking "but I ducked... how short is this beast?"

    He played well for only having 1 leg!?

    Looks more like Ro Bail. Viney would've hit him hard & low & not got suckered by the inevitable duck of the head.

    Anyone have a video of that tackle on Weller ?

    Viney is almost the forgotten man of our young brigade. Has looked good from game 1 but he has also steadily improved with each season, they way you expect it to be. 28 touches to Selwood's 16 is a complete annihilation. He's never going to be an elite kick but his decision making has definitely improved. I don't panic when he gets it anymore. Gun.

    Not forgotten for me. He is quickly becoming a favourite player for me. The jobs he has been doing and winning more ball on "elite" players is outstanding. I think other coaches would rule the day he gets let off the leash from having a run with role.

    Viney has an old head on his young shoulders. Mature beyond his years. Will be wonderful to watch his career develop.

    You never know about his kicking - luckily it's a skill that can be taught compared with the aggression and mongrel that he has, which cannot be taught.

    Nathan Jones struggled to hit a target early in his career and now he rarely wastes the ball. Plenty of time for Jack to work on that but bloody hell, I'm loving what he's producing so far. We'll have the best midfield in the league in 3 years, mark my words.

    Next captain in 2/4 years after Jones for sure, locked in! Hoges/Brayshaw/Salem VC's by then too....

    I think that picture was of Selwood after Dunn gave him a 'I won't be playing against WCE' shot to the guts...

    His old man was a pretty ordinary kick early in his career. Jack is probably better at this stage than was Todd. But Todd worked and learned and ended up a fairly reasonable kick: not a bet your house on type, but quite reliable.

    Without fear, and manic at the ball and the man .... that encapsulates Jack Viney's football prowess for me

    Nothing in it ... Play on.

    And to think that some people on here thought at the start of the year that his place in the team would be in jeopardy, and he'd be superceded by the next crop of young mids. Laughable. His appetite for the contest is 2nd to none at the club, and that's something you can't teach.

    I don't remember anyone saying that. I certainly said his disposal needed to improve if he was going to make it. I stand by that, but I think he's improved it and continues to do so.

    EDIT. But don't get me wrong. I love him.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
