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.

    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.

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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
