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!?

    Viney doesn't need legs... they need him

    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
