Your wish is my command. Excuse the analogue quality. I'm not Fox.

Notice the backward steps and overall defensive posture. It's indicative of a dog that has been abused by its master. One must assert one's position, after all...

I love that Viney didn't even throw anything. It was pure intimidation against stringer

[Little Richard 6,265]

Stringer going backwards so fast you'd be forgiven for thinking he was on wheels.

[mrtwister 652]

I think he may have pooped his package.

Tonight, it was me, but in a proud way.

So courageous.

Hurn got Viney. Viney got him back. Is it the first case of Viney made me cry reciprocation? 

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Footy folklore. We'll be recalling this game for the rest of his career. And his sons' careers.

[Ted Lasso 19,567]

That was the best individual game I've seen from a demon in a long time. Without his injury he could have had 45 touches and 30 contested possessions

Not even Jack Viney could make Jack Viney cry

I know what you mean. When he went off the first time and I saw him grimace I thought, "he's been huge but if he's in pain you know it's bad". Then he came on and was big but restricted, then he went down to the rooms and with no coincidence we faded. I thought, "even with him being on he will be something of an inspiration, but realistically he won't won't be on his game" I was so wrong. 

I was a kid when Todd played and he was the first Melbourne player I remember thinking, this guy is indestructible. Jack has taken the Viney name to another level, and he was massive.

I get this feeling that there would've been a lot of people feeling proud; his dad, Goody, Roosy, and players/coaches that were with him at the beginning like David Rodan. 

Nothing was going to stop him.

His old man was as tough as nails and Jack is exactly the same

Hurn got Viney, Viney got Hurn back harder. There's footage of Viney running back through the rooms once he'd been taped up: I bet Shannon Hurn heard those footsteps and felt like a Mafia hit, whose cards were marked!

[Nasher 33,617]

I saw Viney grimace in pain with the shoulder while on the bench.  Could he... could he be human after all?

Nah.

What an effort that was.  

[Salems Lot 2,691]

For a split second the footage of him in the rooms looked like he was trying to run through a concrete column!

[Adzman 2,154]

The AFL experts stroke themselves over Joel Selwood. No doubt Selwood is tough and a strong leader, but Viney is next level tough. I have never seen anything like his performance last night. It is the best midfield performance I have ever seen.

The grimace wasn't from pain, he just thought about something stupid he said 7 years ago. 

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,358]

Cleared by the MRP.

Nash, that grimace was after the doctor told him he'd be off for a few minutes.

The Hurn hit was beautiful. Will Hurn hit him again? Will he have second thoughts.  What will other players think if confronted with an opportunity to hit Viney? I think a reputation is being built. He didn't make Hurn cry because Hurn was unconscious. The rest of the competition know, Viney is hard and has a great memory.

Even made GAJ pull a sickie rather than face JV.

Is it wrong to 'like' this? Just a little bit? What the heck.

At least that superstar Schofield is free to play. His 6 touches will be vital.
