I wonder if Jack Watts is thinking how glad he is that Viney is on the same side

He had a 'box-seat' to that display didn't he Bitts.

Doubt it'll be taken on board though.

That is pretty much the human equivalent of a lion taking down an antelope. 

Song.....what a fantastic analogy.  Looks like a sequence from David Attenborough.

Looking at the video again (and again and again.....) I can't help thinking that the nanny state MRP may in future deem that as a sling tackle,   It would be a very sad day for the game were that to happen though.

 

^^ and Robbo - he was caught red handed, with plenty of prior opportunity, and went around before he (may have) handball it.

On the contrary, if a player is on another team he risks meeting Viney maybe twice a year. Watts has to face the prospect of being tackled at training several times a week.

And so does Tom McDonald.

IMHO Tmac should have just got up and laughed, ruffled Jacks head and said 'good one you shlt'

He didn't and we move on.

shoulda' grabbed him & wrestled Viney to the ground.  that woulda' got Vineys respect back.

 

IMO the pecking order is beckoning,  with rippling intencity

I loved this guy's father who would've and could've run through a brick wall. Jack will do that but he brings more than that. Opponents will be taking shorter steps they way they did when Rod Grinter was running towards them.

we need a lot more of grinter in our makeup.. the toughness of 'rodney',, not so much the 'late ' ruggedness.  & we need plenty of his skills as well.

Tim Watson did say last year that Jack had his father's DNA, so I think you could be on to something..

Yeah Tmac was probably also [censored] off that he got caught --- I always think he is a most competitive animal, and hated getting caught, let alone by Jack the Ripper ... :)

http://watchafl.afl.com.au/ Viney's tackle made the 1 of the top 10 list, sorry if already posted. I think it's a bit like Howe's MOTY, there are so many he is the default #1,

And I suspect that some pathetic big noter in the MRP were this to happen in 2016 would cite him for the new offence of "tackling too hard".  Let's hope they don't give  him a retrospective / retroactive  suspension - nothing would surprise me from that corrupt mob.

So nice to see Viney leading the Herald-Sun "Player of the Year" award (leading Patrick Dangerfield)!

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    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
