BAMF 4,485 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Remember in the preseason when people were saying he might get delisted at seasons end cos of one bad kick in a meaningless NAB Cup game. Massive LOL Oh god. I remember that. One person even said that he was lucky to have been picked up in the draft at all. Quote

Then I saw the interview he did the next day when he admitted, with a smirk, that the chat as they both ran to the bench involved him asking Joel Selwood why he was bleeding so much.

Bonkers 994 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I can't remember who mentioned it on AFL360, but they were comparing Brett Kirk to Jack Viney. Roos believes they are similar in character & attributes. Different career paths obviously one from the rookie lost the other was an elite junior. The thing that stands out to me & obviously so many others is how hard at it he is. He may not be the most gifted in terms of skills, but I think he is a player you can build your team around like Hodge, Kirk & Selwood. Yesterday he was just as influential as Max Gawn & Bernie Vince, he may not have been heralded as the match winner but he definitely set the tone & was not willing to be beaten. It was an epic effort to destroy Selwood on his home turf. I hope it's the beginning of great things to come from Jack. 1 Quote
Moneider96 1,045 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) i also liked his reference to having a lot of respect for selwood "as a player" ie - thinks he is a complete d/head hahahahha I noticed that too. Ordinarily, you would just say, 'I have a lot of respect for Selwood.' Edited June 22, 2015 by Moneider96 Quote
Henrietta Lumbago 331 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Viney has had the aggression since day 1, but he has cleaned up the rest of his game, his disposal still has a bit to improve on but it has improved so much since his first season. And his ability to tag Ablett, Steven and Selwood and to beat them convincingly shows how much his defensive game has improved which has a lot to do with his fitness and competitiveness... He could be a star of the competition just needs to sharpen up his disposal ... 1 Quote

Roos started off by insinuating they weren't that similar and then by the end of the conversation, he said there were similarities (to placate the drunk football writer). Quote

Henrietta Lumbago 331 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I think that girl Wojinski goes on his list ! And he was only 17 hahah Quote
Roger Mellie 4,205 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 If we're talking captions (G Rated for the kiddies) then Viney is clearly saying 'Tool' as he trots away from his road kill. Quote
Skuit 10,031 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Probably just a pothole. This thread needs to be pinned as a daily antidote to MFCSS. 1 Quote
FireOath 290 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Love this, shows what Viney has now become. Quote
What 18,810 Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Shame he missed all those weeks with the leg injury, hed be staring down the barrel of winning the Bluey if not for that. He will still finish high though (might even win it). Edited July 2, 2015 by hogans_heroes Quote
ManDee 7,395 Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 If it bleeds you can kill it. And Jack whispers. "I own you now ducker" 1 Quote
FireOath 290 Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 I think we need to have a name list on the first post as a reference of the poor souls that have come off the other end. 1 Quote
Straight Sets Simon 23,113 Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 I can't remember who mentioned it on AFL360, but they were comparing Brett Kirk to Jack Viney. If Viney only ends up being as good as Brett Kirk I will cry. I realise the comparisons weren't just based on football ability but Viney probably already is a better player than Kirk. 2 Quote
Demonated 252 Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Shame he missed all those weeks with the leg injury, hed be staring down the barrel of winning the Bluey if not for that. He will still finish high though (might even win it). I'd say he would be leading our votes per game for sure. Has been our most consistent performer this year IMO. Him coming back has been so very important to the team. You only need to look at how Vince and Jones have performed since his return to see how his defensive game and contested work frees up other midfielders. His impact on our midfield goes well beyond stats. I thought he stalled a little in his 2nd year, but he has made amazing progress this year. Roos is a perfect coach for a player like Viney. 1 Quote

Whilst I understand your comments, just under 250 games, premiership player, captain of his club, All-Australian, best and fairest winner, voted best captain one year by the AFLPA and most courageous too and a couple international rules series. Bit stiff saying Viney is already a better player, but i get your train of thought none the less Quote

The Song Formerly Known As 6,479 Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Much has been said about his destruction of players, but what about his rise in other areas. He is a contested possession machine, whose work in close in second to none. He extracts the ball so well and gets it out to the outside players. HE IS A BEAST!!!! Quote
