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.

    Ah what an awesome tackle. I just can't stop watching it.

    What a joke number 2 was.... He clearly handballed it. It was just the "Cyril" factor the umpire got sucked in by...

    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.

    looks like that scum bruised his elbow.

    looks like he tried to bite Viney's back in frame 2

    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.

    I love this thread. Would be good if all new additions were added to the OP. We could have a great library by the end of his career.

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

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
