The Jack Viney Made Me Cry Thread

Matthew Lloyd recounted on 3aw, that Viney was amongst a youth touring team (I think).

Players were soft and coaches (Kirk, Lloyd, O'Loughlin) gave the group a spray and got out the bump bags.  Kirk held the bump bag and Viney apparently just hit it with all of his might.  Kirk had his head split open, but didn't cry.

    So much to like! Clarrie’s tackle, Viney the steam roller who turns like a gazelle and finds Gusy who takes a strong contested mark and best of all the genuine excitement on the bench.

    In the words of Bruce " Viney, Viney, Viney".

    Jack was nothing short of a sensational match winner last night.

    Viney's acceleration and side step are truly elite.  His foot injury does not seem to have affected them like say Trengove's.  On numerous occasions his burst and his direction change were equal to the best ever.  Let's hope the prognosis for his feet stays good.

    De Viney!

    Is it just me or is Nat Fyfe enjoying ripping Viney’s shirt off him a little too much? (Not that there’s anything wrong with that)

    Lots of things Jack could have said, all of which he would be in trouble for nowdays.

    Great clip.

    Is that what started the nonsense? So Walters was trying to bump Viney, got sat on his date and his teammates didn't like it? Then he head butted Viney?

    Looks to me like they were deliberately trying to poke the bear. That's madness.

    headbutted lockhart.... but yes your premise seemingly is correct :)

    JV was absolutely fantastic on Saturday. Shame on those that wanted him traded at end of season. He is our heart and soul.  He was back to his best and led from the front and took no prisoners.

    he was instrumental to the win. Similar form to the finals last year where he was central to the results we achieved.

    Not from me, he is the right colours. When is he a free agent please? Won't be able to play at Marvel but

     

    I don't mean to be a downer but I feel there is a concerning lack of animated gifs showing unsuspecting players entering the dark confines of Viney's pain cave

    One day, hopefully several years from now, this thread will be harvested for the Jack Viney retirement party.

    And it will be beautiful.

    Love it. The stager bumps our captain and goes down like he was hit in the head with a sledgehammer.

    Took 3 Dockers, all bigger than him, to rip his guernsey off him. Love it.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
