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...

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

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

    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

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

    So courageous.

    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.

    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!

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

    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.

    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.  

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

    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.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.
